About our corporate paella catering in Ash
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Whether it is charity days and conference lunches, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Teams near Ash often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
