Corporate paella catering for your work event in Lympne
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Whether it is company summer parties and customer events, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Lympne suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Lympne, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
