Northbridge Street questions
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Northbridge Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For an evening event in Northbridge Street, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
