Corporate paella catering in Cote

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Cote

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. For fundraisers and conference lunches, we can cook bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.

At country venues around Cote, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

The menu, dish by dish

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Cote? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

What happens on the day

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in Cote are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Planning help

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Share the timings for food
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

We leave the space as we found it.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Choosing a paella caterer

Paella compared with other options

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Why us?

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Drinks service on request
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Common questions in Cote

Could we have live paella in Clapham Wood?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

How far is Cote from London?

About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

How many different paellas?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
