Planning for every diet
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
- Plan seating near the food area
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Schedule crew meals
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Larger pans for peak times.
