Corporate paella catering in Durley
How our corporate paella catering works in Durley
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. For team days and away days and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Durley suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
