Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch, following your trader pack.
Larger pans for peak times.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
