Stroud: your questions answered
How far is Stroud from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
What affects the price in Stroud
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Guest numbers
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Schedule crew meals
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check allergen info is on display
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Stroud have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We cook in full view and serve all event.
