The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Milcombe stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

What else we do in Milcombe
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Live paella or other catering?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
