Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. After-work summer parties in Ash have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches

FAQs for Ash
Which station should guests use for Ash?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How far is Ash from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Where we can cook in Ash
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
