It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What paperwork do you provide?

What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in West Kensington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
