The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Congelow, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share the timings for food
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
