Corporate paella catering for your work event in Lamberhurst
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for team-building days and christmas parties.
An away day near Lamberhurst is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
