Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What’s in the pans
Vegan paella
Vegan visitors get a real meal.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Curridge questions
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Curridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is there a vegan option?
Absolutely. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
How quickly can you serve?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
