Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, events in Ryeish Green stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll 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 clear the pitch and leave it clean.
