Live paella or other catering?

Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

What you get with us

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

How the day works

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, events in Stud Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Tell us about the event and pitch.
  2. We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook and serve throughout.
  5. We pack down and tidy the pitch.

What’s in the pans

Seafood paella

The seafood pan is a festival favourite.

Giant paella pans

Huge pans of golden rice.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

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.

Planning for every diet

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

  • Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
  • Check how many portions traders can serve
  • Feed crew and volunteers at set times
  • Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors

Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Vegan paella alongside the rest.

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:

  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • A level pitch on firm ground
  • Room for our cooking and serving area

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
