The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, events in Pinkneys Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
  2. You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
  3. We set up at the agreed time.
  4. The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
  5. We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Plan cover in case of rain

Planning help

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Schedule crew meals
  • Provide seating near the food
  • Check every diet is covered by the line-up
  • Ask for allergen information at each stall

We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.

Planners, venues and businesses

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
