Planning the cooking area

- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have bins ready
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. A summer party in Conyer stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
