FAQs for Bapchild

Can you cook in Cromers Wood?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

The closest is Teynham station, roughly 2.1 miles away.

Can we pay by invoice?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

How much is live paella catering?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.

Do you cater in Bapchild?

We do. We cook at events in Bapchild and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

How much space do you need?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. December events in Bapchild are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
