The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Tutts Clump have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area

Should I cook it myself?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Give traders a single information pack
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
