How the day 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. December events in Mongewell are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
