How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Summer events in Brentford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Questions from Brentford
Can you cook in Kew Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Brentford?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Trader information and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Room for our cooking and serving area
As a London location, Brentford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
