Paella compared with other options
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, events in Langley Vale stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Share the running order, including any speeches

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
