A product that feels special here
In Lanzarote, acorn-fed Iberian ham is not an everyday sight, and that works in its favour. For a German or British guest who has been on the island for a week, watching a whole ham being opened and tasting a freshly carved slice is an experience they were not expecting — and one they remember.
That is why it works particularly well for destination weddings, which account for a significant part of the celebrations held here, and for private villa dinners in Puerto Calero, Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen. And that is why we explain the product in Spanish, English and German: understanding what is on the plate is half the pleasure.
What kind of event?
Destination weddings and estate celebrations. The carving station fits naturally into the cocktail reception, without competing with the catering and without requiring a kitchen.
Private villa dinners. We arrive with everything prepared and clear everything away when the service is finished.
Hotels and restaurants. A carving station for buffets, gala dinners and Spanish-themed evenings, either as a one-off service or throughout a season, with staff training available.
Corporate events and incentives. Invoicing, public liability insurance and health documentation provided.
What to consider for outdoor events
On the island, almost everything happens outdoors, and the trade winds have a mind of their own. We always set up in a sheltered position or under a protective cover, use suitably weighted plates and keep the ham in the shade. In the afternoon heat, the marbled fat can soften too soon and the slice loses its character. Small details that may not matter on the mainland can determine whether the ham reaches your guest at its best.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a ham carver cost in Lanzarote?
It depends on the number of guests, the ham selected and the length of the service. We send a fixed quote within 24 hours, including the calculated cost per portion. There is no travel surcharge within Lanzarote.
Where does the ham come from?
From mainland Spain, selected for each event: 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham, 50% Iberian acorn-fed ham or cebo de campo, depending on the budget. It is purchased for the event date rather than taken from storage.
Can you serve guests who do not speak Spanish?
Yes. The product is explained in Spanish, English and German, which is particularly useful for international visitors to the island.
Do you also work in Fuerteventura?
Yes, with no travel surcharge.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, two to three months is recommended. For a private villa dinner, one or two weeks is usually sufficient.
