Corporate paella catering for your work event in Whitewood
At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. We are often asked to cater client hospitality and conference lunches, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
At country venues around Whitewood, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Whitewood, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
