A hybrid ham and salmon carving show for high-end events in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands. A distinctive experience that surprises your guests with excellence, technique and the passion of a master.
With over 30 years of experience in hospitality services, Iván Cruz is a teacher in the art of carving. Since 2003 he has trained new generations, combining his role as a Hospitality Teacher for the Canary Islands Department of Education with his freelance work, but his true hallmark lies in the precision and ritual of the knife.
His unique proposition is hybrid carving: he masters both ham and salmon, breaking the mold of the traditional carver. A combination that surprises, elevates the guest experience and turns any event into something memorable. His presence is discreet, but the memory of that perfect slice is unforgettable.
Professional ham carving and salmon carving service for high-end events. I elevate the guest experience with carving stations designed to impress, spark conversation and leave a lasting memory.
Each course is designed to ensure students master the technique and understand the reasoning behind every cut, every temperature and every presentation. From beginners to advanced, class sizes are kept small to guarantee individual attention.

A space where guests gather, watch the technique, chat and savour each perfectly sliced piece. I work with top-quality produce personally selected and adapt the setup to the aesthetics of each event, whether an intimate villa dinner or a large family celebration.
A ham and salmon carving show projects an image of distinction and excellence, creating a natural focal point for networking and relaxed conversation. I adapt to the branding and theme of the event, handling all logistics so the company can focus on enjoying the occasion alongside its guests.
I analyse your current offering, identify areas for improvement and design a strategy from supplier selection to service presentation. Includes hands-on training for your team, carving station design and product pairing.
Clear information to help you plan your carving show —ham, salmon or both— with confidence, precision and the right amount of notice.
I recommend booking at least four months in advance for weddings and three months ahead for private or corporate events in order to secure the availability and ensure a memorable carving experience.
Of course, salmon carving is a differentiating and complementary value of my service. I combine a ham carving show with live salmon carving, offering your guests a dual gastronomic experience that surprises and elevates any celebration.
I mainly work in Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, although I consider any type of travel through a tailored quote.
A master of the carving art doesn't just slice — he creates a gastronomic show. The technique, presentation and guest interaction turn the carving into the highlight of the event, something a standard catering service cannot offer.
