Why choose live paella in Bluetown?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Common questions in Bluetown
What’s the nearest station to Bluetown for guests?
The closest is Sittingbourne station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cover Bluetown?
We do. Bluetown is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

- Get facilities approval early
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
