Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Larger pans for peak times.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is a festival favourite.
Why choose live paella in Nutbourne?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. There is 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.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Nutbourne have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Nutbourne: your questions answered
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Nutbourne?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Nutbourne close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We do. We cook at events in Nutbourne and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Nutbourne?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

School fairs, for a school like Chidham Parochial Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. Events in parks such as Eames Farm need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for.
