A fête near Newenden might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Newenden have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.

Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
