Do you cater at business parks?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Priestwood?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
