How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Eddington have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
