The menu, dish by dish
Croquetas
Crisp outside, creamy inside.
Patatas bravas
Crisp potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce, often with alioli.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Tell us what role tapas play
- Add sangria or cava
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
