Corporate paella catering in Barham, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re often asked to cater product launches and open days and team-building days, serving bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Barham is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Share the timings for food
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
