Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Cricklewood hosts choose us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan
