About our corporate paella catering in Freefolk
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. For training days and conferences and charity and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Freefolk suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
