DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Plan seating near the food area
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
