Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Send traders one clear trader pack
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

At midsummer, events in Wadwick stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- We cover Wadwick and the whole of Hampshire
- Real theatre, not just catering
