Other catering in Nash
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Nash stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
