Sundridge events: pitches and permissions
Sundridge is about 1 mile north-east of Bromley, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Sundridge will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Sundridge is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cook. You can also see our page for London, about 8 miles away.
If your event is in Elmstead Wood, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Andrew, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.
We cook at events all over the BR1, BR7 and BR2 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Hawes Road, North Road and Croft Road; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella. Nearby, we also cater events in Plaistow (1 mile west), Grove Park (1 mile north), Downham (1 mile north-west), Chinbrook (1 mile north) and Elmstead (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in London (8 miles north-west), City of Westminster (10 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (9 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find The Glades (0.9 miles south) and Prefab Museum (1.7 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and Downham Woodland Walk.
- Nearby schools include Holy Trinity College Bromley (under half a mile south) and Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy (0.8 miles north-west)

Sundridge questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Sundridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Elmstead Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Sundridge stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Plan seating near the food area
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
