Your questions about paella party catering in Hog Hatch

Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
