Corporate paella catering for your work event in Newchapel
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. On the menu are bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are often booked for team-building events and open days and launches.
An away day near Newchapel is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
