How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Sidlow, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
