Selling questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
