Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.
Follow tapas with a live paella.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space for a serving table or station

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
