How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Mount Pleasant have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
For event organisers in Mount Pleasant
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
