Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Park Town, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
