How our corporate paella catering works in Rottingdean
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are frequently asked to cater away days and office lunches and christmas parties, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and bowl food.
For rural venues near Rottingdean, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
