Can you do sangria?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
