Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Pick a serving style
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
