- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check allergen info is on display
- Send traders one clear trader pack
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Why choose live paella in Wokefield?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Drinks service on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Fast service from the pan

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
