Live corporate paella catering in Seabrook
Corporate paella catering in Seabrook, made fresh on the day
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include training days and conferences and product launches and open days, serving Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches.
At country venues around Seabrook, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Seabrook, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
