What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Runcton: your questions answered
How far is Runcton from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Runcton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
