FAQs for Hampton
Is parking a problem for events in Hampton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Carlisle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you have the documents we need?
Share your trader requirements.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you come to Hampton?

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Before you choose a spot

- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste

What else we do in Hampton
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Hampton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

- What happens if it rains
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Larger pans for peak times.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
