At midsummer, events in Stonehill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Firm, level ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Stonehill questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Stonehill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Stonehill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
