'Bad Paella is a culinary epidemic, not only in America but all over the world,' says Coleman Andrews, author of 'Catalan Cuisine' and editor of 'Saveur' magazine. But, those of us who are passionate about paella, are on a mission.......

Señor Paella’s School Sports

Our Paella Sports Days are a unique and fun way to bring your group together at your chosen venue and give them a completely new challenge.  We’re very proud to offer this activity as the first of its kind in Australia and expect it to be very popular.  We suggest you book early, particularly for end of year parties!

Let your team of 15+ get hands on!

Sports Day begins with an introduction to the culture and tradition of Paella.  We’ll have a look at the equipment, the ingredients and learn about the importance of authenticity.  But pay attention – there will be questions!

Teams of 4/5 will be allocated their station and chef will take them through the intricacies of authentic paella.  Each team will cook under the direction of chef and maybe there’ll be a few ‘discussions’ about who’s doing it right.  After all, it wouldn’t be paella if there wasn’t an argument about something.   

If you wish, you may add our ‘Gypsy Dancing’ option, in which case 2 or 3 teams will learn the art of gypsy dancing  with Sharmara rather than paella – a great opportunity for the exhibitionists, who will then provide the entertainment before the crowning of the paella champions!

Once each team’s paella is cooked, chef will perform the ‘tasting’ and teams will then be able to consume their wares.  Don’t worry if your team doesn’t follow instruction well, there’ll be plenty in other pans to share with the naughty students so nobody will go hungry!
Whilst teams eat and discuss their paella techniques, chef will hand out the quiz papers so that we can begin the final challenge of the day.  Quiz results will be combined with the tasting to decide on the ‘Paella Champions.’

Señor Paella’s School Sports Days take place at your venue.  Señor Paella supplies all equipment and ingredients, including tableware, cold drinks and a traditional Spanish Dessert.  (Team prizes are optional and/or you may wish to raffle a prize. Please speak to us about this option) 

Cost From $56 per person.
