- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Ashley Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
