Corporate paella catering for your work event in Pains-Hill
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Popular choices include canapé tapas, bowl food and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for training days and conferences and christmas and end-of-year parties.
Team away days in the countryside around Pains-Hill suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat.
