How our corporate paella catering works in Borden
Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. On the menu are paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and typical bookings are for client hospitality and team-building events.
Team away days in the countryside around Borden suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Borden, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
