DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have bins ready
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
