Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Let us know how long people have to eat
The space is left clean and tidy.
