How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Saunderton Lee until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
