Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
