How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. December events in Halfway are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Where we can cook in Halfway
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

- Facilities approval and any site rules
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
