Corporate paella catering for your work event in Abbey Wood
For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas parties and client hospitality.
For offices in and around Abbey Wood, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
