Paella compared with other options

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. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Myrke: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Myrke close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you need water?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
