Corporate paella catering for your work event in Four Oaks
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are frequently asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and client hospitality, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
For rural venues near Four Oaks, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
