Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Plumpton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
