Dietary needs and planning tips
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:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
