About our corporate paella catering in Sandy Cross
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for away days and office lunches and charity days.
Team away days in the countryside around Sandy Cross suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
