About our corporate paella catering in Pedlinge
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. We are often asked to cater company summer parties and training days and conferences, serving paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
