Questions from West Green
Can you cook in Downhills Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in West Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Do you come to West Green?

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in West Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
