How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. Summer events in Cockpole Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Cockpole Green questions
Is Cockpole Green close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
