Corporate paella catering for your work event in Stone Cross
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it is team lunches and team days, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Stone Cross suit 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 is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
