What else we do in Chapel Row
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

For a late-May party in Chapel Row, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
