How our corporate paella catering works in Founthill
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. We are frequently asked to cater away days and office lunches and company summer parties, with paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas.
Team away days in the countryside around Founthill suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Founthill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
