How our corporate paella catering works in Oval
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. For company summer parties and charity and fundraising events, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Around Oval, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
