What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Prestwood stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
