Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, perfect during the photos.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
How it works
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. At midsummer, sunset in Peaslake is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
