Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. After-work summer parties in Christmas Common have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
