Live corporate paella catering in Otford
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Otford
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. We are often asked to cater team days and client and customer events, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Teams near Otford frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. December events in Otford are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
