How our corporate paella catering works in Abbotts Ann
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We are often asked to cater team days and client and customer events, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
At country venues around Abbotts Ann, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
