Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- An area to prepare hot tapas
- Permission from the venue
- Access to unload near the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Collect dietary needs
- Include staff for canapés
Each dish is labelled.
