Live corporate paella catering in Stanswood
How our corporate paella catering works in Stanswood
At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and we are frequently booked for end-of-year celebrations and open days and launches.
At country venues around Stanswood, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Stanswood, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
