Questions from Birling

What’s the nearest station to Birling for guests?

West Malling station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.

Is Birling too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

Can you cook at our office?

Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

What documents can you provide?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

We leave the space as we found it.

Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.

How it works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Birling, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Give us a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The paellas you choose
  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need
  • How long we’re needed on site

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The courses you’d like
  • The date and time of the event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • The address or venue name

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
