Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Include any suppliers you are feeding

- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Golden Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
