How the day works

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Partridge Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. We check your dates.
  2. We agree menu and pitch.
  3. We set up our burners and pans.
  4. Pans are cooking as gates open.
  5. We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
