About our corporate paella catering in South Street
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. For away days and office lunches and client and customer events, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
An away day near South Street is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in South Street, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
