Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening events in Easton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check allergen info is on display
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
