Common questions in Bexon
What’s the nearest station to Bexon for guests?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Bexon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How quickly can you serve?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Parking and unloading
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or ME9 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Paella compared with other options

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, events in Bexon stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
