What else we do in Loyterton
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Planning a team event in Loyterton
Loyterton is about 4 miles west of Faversham, in Kent. Tell us where your work event in Loyterton will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Loyterton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cook. Our events stretch from Loyterton to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (3.1 miles south-east).

Loyterton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Loyterton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
