Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Share the timings for food

Service is timed to your schedule, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

Kit's Coty questions

Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Do you come out to small places like Kit's Coty?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you come to Kit's Coty?

We do. Kit's Coty is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

How many different paellas?

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

What happens on the day

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Kit's Coty, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Plan cover in case of rain

For planners, venues and organisers

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Organising a club, school or community event in Kit's Coty? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Is live paella right for your work event?

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why us?

  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Served hot, straight from the pan
