Organising for someone else?

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Dishes our guests love

Vegan and vegetarian pans

Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff.

Why choose live paella in Mount Pleasant?
