The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Cadmore End have daylight until about 9:25pm 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.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

FAQs for Cadmore End
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Cadmore End?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is Cadmore End close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
Do you cover Cadmore End?
We do. We cook at events in Cadmore End and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask about peak-time capacity
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe.
