How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. 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. For an evening event in Sundridge, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
