How our corporate paella catering works in Canterbury
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. For team days and christmas and end-of-year parties, we can cook bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
Canterbury has offices, business parks and hired venues that suit live paella. We need a ventilated spot and the site’s permission to cook. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
