Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, events in Marsh Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Marsh Green questions
Is Marsh Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Marsh Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
