What affects the price in Woodhatch
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Organising a club, school or community event in Woodhatch? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. December events in Woodhatch are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Woodhatch questions
What’s the nearest station to Woodhatch for guests?
Hildenborough station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
