Questions from Charing Hill
Could we have live paella in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Charing Hill.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.

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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
