Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
