Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Schedule crew meals
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask about peak-time capacity
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- The event’s site rules and timings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
