Live corporate paella catering in Holybourne
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Holybourne
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and conference lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Holybourne suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Holybourne, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
