There is a moment in the year when a school, a club or a company needs to get everyone together and eat as one group. A paella cooked in the playground or the garden solves lunch without setting up a kitchen.
Who it works for
We mostly do this for schools closing the year, sports clubs finishing the season and companies who want a team lunch outside the meeting room. We have cooked for schools in Barcelona, for BISC, for Club Natació Barcelona and for Radikal Swim, among others.
What it solves
We arrive with the pans, the burners, the gas bottles and our own work tables. No kitchen and no power socket needed. We cook in front of everyone, which is half the party, and serve at the agreed time. We can set up from 30 servings, although the price per person starts to make sense from 80.
What we need from you
A flat, safe area of about 3x3 metres for small groups, vehicle access to unload, and two and a half hours before lunchtime. Tables and chairs for the guests are yours; we bring the tableware: plate, cutlery and napkin.
Children, allergies and diets
At a school lunch there are always coeliacs, vegetarians and the odd allergy. The vegetable paella is suitable for vegetarians and coeliacs, and every rice has its allergen list. We need that list in advance, with time, and we prepare those servings separately.
When to book
June and July are the months when everyone closes the year and the season at once, and weekends go early. If you have the date, it is worth holding it even if the number of guests is not final: we adjust that later.
