Team away days in the countryside around Hollow Street suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
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 while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Hollow Street, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- 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.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
