Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
