Dietary needs and planning tips

- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Cowesfield Gate
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Popular choices include paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and conference lunches.
An away day near Cowesfield Gate is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
