Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
