Corporate paella catering for Crofton events
About our corporate paella catering in Crofton
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are frequently asked to cater conference lunches and charity days, with bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.
For offices in and around Crofton, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Fast service from the pan
