Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Walham Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you take everything away?

Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Firm, level ground
Walham Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Give traders a single information pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Provide seating near the food
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
