Questions from Welborne
Is Welborne too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Welborne?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Welborne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat
