What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. 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 Odiham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
