Stone Cross questions
Can you cook in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Stone Cross?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in Stone Cross?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Stone Cross and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a Christmas party in Stone Cross, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What affects the price in Stone Cross
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
