The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. For an evening event in Heath End, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Vegan paella alongside the rest.

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
