Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Put us in touch with your venue
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
