For event organisers in Worting
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Evening events in Worting have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

What affects the price in Worting
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
