How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Westcott Barton have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide seating near the food
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
