How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Stonegate, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
