Near Adisham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, events in Adisham stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day

FAQs for Adisham
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Adisham?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cover Adisham?
We do. Adisham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A level pitch on firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
