Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Crew meals are served at set times.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
