Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Winterbourne? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
