Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
The cooking area stays tidy.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Nackington
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Nackington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Nackington.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
