About our corporate paella catering in Coxford
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. We are frequently asked to cater client hospitality and conferences and training days, serving canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
Around Coxford, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

A closer look at the menu
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
