Corporate paella catering for Charlton events
Corporate paella catering in Charlton, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Typical bookings include christmas and end-of-year parties and fundraisers, serving bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
At country venues around Charlton, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Charlton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
