Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Pested: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Pested?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.
