Do you come out to small places like West Yoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Do you cook inside?

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
