Step by step
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, events in Eastcote stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Eastcote questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Eastcote?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Eastcote.
Is it really cooked live?

What else we do in Eastcote
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Access for unloading at set-up
Eastcote is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
