About the dishes
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Desserts
A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in West Clandon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm 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’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
