Questions from Throwley Forstal
Is Throwley Forstal too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Throwley Forstal, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
