The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, events in Lawrence Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
