The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Leigh, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
