How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Barking Riverside, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive

- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
