Common questions in Epwell
Is Epwell too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Will there be long queues?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, events in Epwell 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.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan cover in case of rain
How to get a price
