How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a late-May party in Saunderton, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
