A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Will there be long queues?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Evening events in Kingsley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Plan cover in case of rain
