Hogben's Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hogben's Hill close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
