For a late-May party in Beckton, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Beckton questions
What’s the nearest station to Beckton for guests?
Woolwich station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
