How our corporate paella catering works in Shacklewell
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are frequently asked to cater team days and summer staff parties, serving paella lunches, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Around Shacklewell, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
