How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Hooe Common have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
