What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Giant paella pans
It’s the huge pan people come to see.
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. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe.
