With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Get facilities approval early
- Have water and soft drinks available
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Facilities approval and any site rules
