Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Is there a vegan option?
Yes. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Flexford?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Why choose live paella in Flexford?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
