Early Snowbirds Kick Off Shoulder Season with a Fun & Exciting Naples’ Catering Alternative

By January, all of the Naples’ snowbirds will have returned to beautiful Southwest Florida, but 25% of the seasonal residents will return earlier in September and October. If you fall into the early snowbird category, you’re ready to kick off shoulder season and catch up with friends you haven’t seen in many months.

To celebrate, you’d like to organize a welcome back party, but you’re tired of the typical catering fare you find everywhere you go. You want to do something really different this year, something memorable, though you don’t feel like fussing with a lot of details.  Where can you find a Naples’ catering company that you can trust to meet your expectations without a lot of planning on your end? ​
​
At Fire & Rice, we offer a unique cultural catering experience that’s fun, exciting, and easy for the host. By preparing delicious paella out in front for everyone to see and interacting with the crowd in a communal dining setting, our parties are a hit every single time. We also make the process as easy as possible for the host. You just book your party, and we’ll take care of the rest. It’s really that simple!

​Unique Naples’ Catering: What to Expect 

When you hire a catering company for the first time, it’s reasonable to have a little anxiety about how everything will turn out. At Fire & Rice, we want your party to be a huge success, and we also want you to feel relaxed during the event and enjoy yourself. With that in mind, we’re here to share what to expect when we cater a party for you.
​
Our chefs will arrive in a Fire & Rice food truck about an hour before the event. You just point us in right direction, and we’ll get set up and ready to go. We provide everything we need to prepare the paella and serve your guests so that you don’t have to worry about a thing.

When your guests arrive, they’ll immediately know that they’re in for a treat. Right out in front, our chefs will enthusiastically prepare our award-winning paella in large, shallow pans using a traditional process dating back to 16th-Century Spain. We’re passionate about paella, and guests will be drawn to the excitement as well as the beauty of the dish. As people gather around the pans, we encourage them to join in the preparation process.  It’s fun and exciting, and everyone will want to join in.
​
Using only the finest ingredients, we combine chicken, sausage, and saffron with Bomba rice for a delicate flavor that is simply divine.  The meat can be swapped out or combined with seafood, and vegan options are also available.  Whether it’s Mixta Paella, Paella de Valencia, or Paella de Marisco, our paella will exceed all expectations.  Many of our clients have traveled all over the world and say that our paella is the best they’ve ever tasted.
