It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Newell Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Newell Green hosts choose us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
