Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Think about shade and seating
- Get facilities approval early
- Have water and soft drinks available
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
