How far is Pond Park from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.

It is one of the quickest hot foods to serve, ideal for peak times.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Extra pans for busy periods.
Live paella or other catering?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Pond Park stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
