Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Wingham, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, 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 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
