Your questions about festival paella catering in Firgo
Do you come out to small places like Firgo?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Firgo?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
