Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in West Stourmouth
Can you cook in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
