Booked for Corporate Function

The paella was a standout at our team party — genuinely delicious and a real crowd-pleaser. Dani and Roman were fantastic: friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. We can’t wait to welcome them back to the office for our next event!

Booked for Birthday party

Richie was fantastic! We got exactly what we hoped for, for our lunch party. Richie arrived on time, quietly cooked the food requiring nothing from us and provided the most delicious paella for lunch. His portions were so generous that we had loads left which he put into his own platters and left in our kitchen. He was brilliant! Would definitely recommend.

Booked for Celebration

Our guests loved the food. It was delicious with plenty to go round. We appreciated having 3 options of paella for our guests, this meant we were able to cater to everyone’s dietary needs. Steve arrived promptly and was communicative in the lead up to the event. Someone from our partying is already inquiring about him for her party.
