What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening events in Hampton Wick have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- 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
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Give traders a single information pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
