How our corporate paella catering works in Purbrook
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. We are frequently asked to cater product launches and open days and client and customer events, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Work events in Purbrook are frequently at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

For a Christmas party in Purbrook, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
