About the dishes
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
Churros
All ages love churros.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have enough chairs for most guests
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
