FAQs for Snowdown
Do you come out to small places like Snowdown?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Snowdown from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How we price corporate paella catering
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Snowdown is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cook right across the region, from Snowdown to Canterbury (7 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Snowdown has its own station, Snowdown station. Snowdown is about 60 miles from central London, so it’s a practical spot for away days and team events.
