Summer events in Lane End have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- A pitch away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
