Why choose live paella in Three Mile Cross?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Three Mile Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

What affects the price in Three Mile Cross
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
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 use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
