Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The event’s site rules and timings

- Access for unloading at set-up

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in St Margarets have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
