Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Stamford Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically 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.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us a contact for the day
