About our corporate paella catering in Chelwood Gate
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we are often booked for open days and launches and training days and conferences.
At country venues around Chelwood Gate, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
