The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. Summer events in Broomhall have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs 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 pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Plan cover in case of rain

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
