About our corporate paella catering in Grove Green
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include christmas and end-of-year parties and product launches and open days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
For businesses around Grove Green, an outdoor team lunch or summer party is easy to arrange with live paella. Let us know about the site. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Grove Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
