Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Frogham, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
