Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Worton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
