After-work summer parties in East Lavington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
