Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.

Do you cover Storrington?
We do. We cook at events in Storrington and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For a late-May party in Storrington, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
