Corporate paella catering for your work event in Charndon
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. On the menu are bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas, and we are often booked for summer staff parties and conferences and training days.
Team away days in the countryside around Charndon suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
