For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Lots of events do both. On the menu are gambas al ajillo, patatas bravas and padrón peppers, and we are frequently booked for evening sharing boards and work receptions.
For a country party near Felderland, tapas and sangria set the mood. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
