Corporate paella catering in Frithend, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for launches and open days and away days and office lunches.
For rural venues near Frithend, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Frithend questions
Which station should guests use for Frithend?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 1.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
