The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Hunton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
