Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Schedule crew meals
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Extra pans for busy periods.
How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For an evening event in Burwash Common, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
