We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
