The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For an evening event in Jenkins' Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
