Corporate paella catering in Tiptoe, made fresh on the day
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and training days and conferences, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
At country venues around Tiptoe, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Tiptoe are in the dark from about 4:05pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
