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. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What’s in the pans
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

At midsummer, events in Enstone stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
