Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Cheapside: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Cheapside?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
