How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in Ripple until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day
