How our corporate paella catering works in Rainham
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. We cook canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re often booked for conferences and training days and summer staff parties.
In Rainham, team events tend to be at the office or a local venue. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
