What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Bowling Alley stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
