About the dishes
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
Live paella or other catering?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Old Windsor stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
