What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check allergen info is on display
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

FAQs for Shipton Green
Can you cook near the sea around Shipton Green?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Shipton Green close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening events in Shipton Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
