Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Check allergen info is on display
- Schedule crew meals
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

- Access for unloading at set-up

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

The process
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 while the paella cooks. Summer events in Gold Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
