Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Check allergen info is on display
- Give traders a single information pack
- Provide seating near the food
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
Questions from Martins Heron
What’s the nearest station to Martins Heron for guests?
Martins Heron has its own station: Martins Heron station.
How far is Martins Heron from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Martins Heron stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We cook in full view and serve all event.
