Step by step
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Normans' Bay, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
