Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
