The process

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Milton are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Before we arrive

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
