Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- A pitch away from tents and structures
As a London location, South Oxhey is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. 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 South Oxhey, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
