How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Connaught Village have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare

Is live paella right for your work event?
