Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Summer events in North Kensington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us a contact for the day
