Your questions about corporate paella catering in Boughton Lees
Is Boughton Lees too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Boughton Lees for guests?
Wye station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
