The process

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Sudbury stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. Send us your event details and pitch information.
  2. We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook in full view and serve all event.
  5. We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Tell us when you want to eat

Sudbury questions

Which station should guests use for Sudbury?

Sudbury has its own station: Sudbury & Harrow Road station.

Could we have live paella in Preston Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.

What do you need at the venue?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Can you trade at our festival or fair?

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.

Can you cater for crew and volunteers?

Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.

Where we can cook in Sudbury

  • A level pitch on firm ground
  • A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
  • The event’s site rules and timings

Sudbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Choosing a paella caterer

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
