How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Stone Street, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload

What affects the price in Stone Street
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- How long we’re needed on site
Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
Stone Street: your questions answered
Can you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
