You choose the venue. I’ll meet you there.
On the beach? At home? A picnic with a difference? Whether you’re entertaining at home or further afield (or even in a field) this authentic paella cooked over an open fire will add warmth to any gathering and give it a unique flavour.
How does it work?
Booking is simple: pre-choose your paella and any extras for the menu and let me know via the enquiry form, or by text if you’d prefer. As your paella is all cooked in the same pan, you must select one flavour combination for your entire party.
As a small, personalised business, I work hard to adapt to each individual party’s requirements. I offer a transparent pricing structure, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you might have. Get in touch and I’ll be happy to discuss your event in more detail.
Meet Marke
Marke has been cooking in Spain for decades, first learning to cook paella the traditional way in Barcelona in the 80s. He later lived and worked in Ibiza and since then, has cooked hundreds of paellas, all with an open heart over open fires.
To Marke, the paella is a simple dish but it has to be right. The right rice, the right sofrito, the right method. And of course, el socarrat - that layer of rice on the bottom of the pan that sings as it crisps and caramelises towards the end of the cooking. What better name for a business centred around a passion for paella.
Simplicity at its best
No long, over-complicated menu choices. No hidden price tags. Just one dish, prepared fresh over a hard wood fire, wherever you choose to enjoy it.
Every dish can be catered to meet your party’s preferences, with a variety of options to suit every taste. From meat to shellfish, with vegetarian and vegan options available, you can customise your ingredient choices to create the perfect paella for you.
