Corporate paella catering for your work event in Paddock Wood
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are often asked to cater training days and conferences and christmas parties, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
Teams near Paddock Wood often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Let us know about the site. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Get facilities approval early
- Share the timings for food
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
