Corporate paella catering in Funtington, cooked live

Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
