The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. In Denstroude, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan cover in case of rain

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share the timings for food
- Get facilities approval early
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

Common questions in Denstroude
What’s the nearest station to Denstroude for guests?
Whitstable station, about 3 miles north of the centre.
How far is Denstroude from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
For event organisers in Denstroude
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
