About our corporate paella catering in Wincheap
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. On the menu are bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are regularly asked to cater team lunches and team days.
Around Wincheap, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Real theatre, not just catering
- A clear, itemised quote

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
