Your questions about corporate paella catering in Wouldham
Do you come out to small places like Wouldham?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Wouldham close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Get facilities approval early
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- We cover Wouldham and the whole of Medway
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Wouldham, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
