Teston: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Teston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Teston for guests?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
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, and we time it to your schedule.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
About our corporate paella catering in Teston
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Whether it is christmas parties and team-building days, we can cook bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas for your guests.
At country venues around Teston, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
For event organisers in Teston
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Share the timings for food
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Crockery and staff can be added.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. December events in Teston are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Where the event is

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
