Common questions in Newbridge
Can you cook near the sea around Newbridge?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Newbridge too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
For event organisers in Newbridge
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
Newbridge is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Newbridge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
