Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Little Milton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
