Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
