Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have bins ready
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
