Corporate paella catering in North Hinksey
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Corporate paella catering in North Hinksey, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are often asked to cater office lunches and away days and summer parties for staff, with vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Work events near North Hinksey might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
