Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Long Wittenham stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
