- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The paellas you choose
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name

About the dishes
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Enquire early for peak dates
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
