Other catering in Lee Common
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
