Corporate paella catering in Lissenden Gardens
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
How our corporate paella catering works in Lissenden Gardens
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. We’re often asked to cater team-building events and away days and office lunches, serving paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
