How our corporate paella catering works in Hartley Mauditt
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Typical bookings include product launches and open days and office lunches and away days, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Hartley Mauditt suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Hartley Mauditt, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
