Planning the cooking area

- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A level pitch on firm ground

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in North Greenwich have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
