Corporate paella catering near Etchingham
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in Etchingham are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a level space ready for the pans
