Corporate paella catering for Warlingham events
Corporate paella catering in Warlingham, made fresh on the day
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. For client and customer events and end-of-year celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.
Around Warlingham, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Live paella works in all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
