Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Wendover Dean stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans

What else we do in Wendover Dean
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have bins ready
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan seats for most guests
After service, we pack down, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
