Corporate paella catering for your work event in Cocking
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are frequently booked for launches and open days and office lunches and away days.
An away day near Cocking is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
