FAQs for Addington
What’s the nearest station to Addington for guests?
The closest is West Malling station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Addington too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Addington, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
