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. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Up Somborne, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
