Questions from Tokyngton
Do you trade at school fairs around Tokyngton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station should guests use for Tokyngton?
Tokyngton has its own station: Stonebridge Park station.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tokyngton.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A level pitch on firm ground
Tokyngton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
