Blue Bell Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Blue Bell Hill for guests?
Snodland station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook in Westfield Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you come to Blue Bell Hill?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Blue Bell Hill and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Corporate paella catering in Blue Bell Hill, cooked live
Live paella makes lunch an activity. For open days and launches and client hospitality, we will put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches and more.
Team away days in the countryside around Blue Bell Hill suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Blue Bell Hill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
