How our corporate paella catering works in Broadstairs
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. Typical bookings include fundraisers and summer staff parties, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
Work events in Broadstairs are often at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
