About our corporate paella catering in Knightwood
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. We’re often asked to cater client hospitality and office lunches and away days, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
Around Knightwood, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
DIY paella versus live catering
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
