Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Give traders a single information pack
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

What else we do in Whitehouse

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. At midsummer, events in Whitehouse stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
