Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Summer events in Denbigh have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Denbigh questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Denbigh?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station should guests use for Denbigh?
The closest is Bletchley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will check availability.
How quickly can you serve?
Service from the pan is fast, which suits busy periods.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.

What affects the price in Denbigh
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
