Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Catering across Kent, including Newtown

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Newtown, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
