How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, events in Longwick stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- No hidden extras in your quote

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Dietary needs and planning tips

- Plan seating near the food area
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check allergen info is on display
- Book crew catering in advance
We set up at the agreed time.
