Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening events in London Fields have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
