Corporate paella catering in Lower Twydall, cooked live
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater team-building days and christmas and end-of-year parties.
At country venues around Lower Twydall, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
