Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- We cover Mill Green and the whole of West Berkshire
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Fast service from the pan

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Mill Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
