Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
