How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is 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 Copnor, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day
