Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
FAQs for Meopham
What’s the nearest station to Meopham for guests?

Could we have live paella in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate 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 picture.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
