What else we do in Worting
The process
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 Worting is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
