Stuppington: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Stuppington?
The closest is Canterbury East station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Stuppington close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
