What else we do in Kennington
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Kennington, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
