Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Warn the neighbours
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Paella compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
