Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Golden-hour photos in North Newington at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Leave space around the cooking area
