About our corporate paella catering in Charlton

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. 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.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
