Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Fairwarp, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Summer events in Fairwarp have daylight until about 9:20pm 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.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare

- Give us your final numbers and diets
