Questions from Broom Hill
What’s the nearest station to Broom Hill for guests?
Orpington station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in Broom Hill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.

Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Schedule crew meals
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
As a London location, Broom Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Broom Hill
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For an evening event in Broom Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and 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 clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
