Live corporate paella catering in Bishopstoke
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
About our corporate paella catering in Bishopstoke
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are frequently booked for customer events and christmas parties.
Around Bishopstoke, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.
