Dishes our guests love

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas suit client events.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Dietary needs and planning tips

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Share the timings for food
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
