Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask for labels on each dish
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
Staff keep the canapés coming.
Waiting staff for canapés.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Saunderton Lee is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.

Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
