Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Have bins ready
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
