Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
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 cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
