Do you do vegan paella?

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Hanwell is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
