About our corporate paella catering in Durrant Green
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We are often asked to cater summer staff parties and team-building events, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
For rural venues near Durrant Green, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
