Planning an event in Rhodes Minnis?
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Corporate paella catering in Rhodes Minnis, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it’s summer parties for staff and charity and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas and more.
At country venues around Rhodes Minnis, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Rhodes Minnis: your questions answered
Can you cook near the sea around Rhodes Minnis?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Rhodes Minnis?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you come to Rhodes Minnis?
We do. Rhodes Minnis is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Have water and soft drinks available
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
