Step by step

At midsummer, it’s light in Hunt's Green until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space to finish hot dishes
- Space for a serving table or station
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
