Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
