About our corporate paella catering in Holt End
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for client hospitality and team lunches.
At country venues around Holt End, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
