How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Winton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Which station should guests use for Winton?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
