- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

- What the venue already provides

What happens on the day
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. For an evening event in Boorley Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans
