How our paella party catering works in Walton Manor

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it is light in Walton Manor until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
