What happens on the day
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Lyneham stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
