Why choose live paella in Tatsfield?

Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Why Tatsfield hosts choose us

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Events in Tatsfield and across Greater London

How it works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Evening events in Tatsfield have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
  2. We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
  3. We set up at the agreed time.
  4. The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
  5. At the end, we clear our pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Space, weather and the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Your trader pack and site rules
  • Details of power, water and waste arrangements
  • A pitch away from tents and structures
