The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Oare have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
