About the dishes
Manchego & membrillo
Easy and classic.
Tortilla española
A vegetarian favourite when made carefully.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Include staff for canapés
- Collect dietary needs
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
Dishes are labelled for diets and allergens.
Serving boards and crockery.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?

How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Is live paella right for your event?
A plated starter needs a kitchen and staff. Table tapas are relaxed and sociable. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
