How our corporate paella catering works in Smallfield
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. On the menu are bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for office lunches and away days and summer staff parties.
Around Smallfield, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. In Smallfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
