How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. December events in Hackington are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Hackington
Which station should guests use for Hackington?
Canterbury West station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Hackington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cook inside?
Normally 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 bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
