About our corporate paella catering in Swanton
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are often asked to cater fundraisers and conferences and training days, with bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
An away day near Swanton is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
