At a fête or field event near Hollow Street, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

The coast is within about 4 miles of Hollow Street, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and seafood paella sells well by the sea.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.

Do you clear up afterwards?

How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, events in Hollow Street stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
