We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Abshot, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.

- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
