How the day works

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. Sunset in Ufton Nervet is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
