Questions from Richborough Port
Could we have live paella in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like Richborough Port?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
