Your questions about corporate paella catering in Stelling Minnis
Could we have live paella in Spong Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
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 space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
