What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. After-work summer parties in Buttsole have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
