How our corporate paella catering works in Puddledock
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and typical bookings are for customer events and fundraisers.
An away day near Puddledock is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
