What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Walton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
  5. When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Planning help

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Check allergen info is on display
  • Ask traders about packaging and waste
  • Plan seating near the food area
  • Schedule crew meals

Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.

Bowl food for easy eating on the move.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

What you get with us
