About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Should I cook it myself?
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.

Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Churros
- Vegan paella
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Giant paella pans
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Wrotham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
