Corporate paella catering for your work event in Stockbridge
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We’re frequently asked to cater away days and office lunches and charity days, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Team away days in the countryside around Stockbridge suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
