For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Amberley station, about 1.2 miles south-east. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Bury CofE Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Bury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Plan cover in case of rain

Bury: your questions answered
Is Bury too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Bury from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
A closer look at the menu
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Giant paella pans
It is the huge pan people come to see.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
