Chartham questions
Could we have live paella in No Man's Orchard?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like Chartham?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. After-work summer parties in Chartham have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
