Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Have water and soft drinks available
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
