Your questions about corporate paella catering in Bearsted
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

One-bite tapas served by staff.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
