What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Rowhook: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Rowhook for guests?
Warnham station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Farlington Strood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Rowhook, 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.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
