How our corporate paella catering works in Michelmersh
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are frequently booked for training days and conferences and christmas parties.
At country venues around Michelmersh, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
