How the day works
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. December events in Wood's Corner are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
