Live festival paella catering in Clement Street
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, events in Clement Street stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
