Corporate paella catering for your work event in Fleet
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include canapé tapas, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and company summer parties.
In Fleet, team events tend to be at the office or a local venue. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Where we can cook in Fleet
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
