Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
