Before you choose a spot

- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. At midsummer, events in Weston Otmoor stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
