Common questions in Howt Green
Could we have live paella in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will 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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
