DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.
Corporate paella catering in Quarrendon Estate, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. On the menu are paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for team days and charity and fundraising events.
Teams near Quarrendon Estate often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Let us know about the site. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
