Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cater a winter event?
