Common questions in Lynsted
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Lynsted close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What affects the price in Lynsted
