How our corporate paella catering works in Longcross

Team away days in the countryside around Longcross suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
