- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Common questions in Cooper Street
Which station should guests use for Cooper Street?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you cook near the sea around Cooper Street?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening events in Cooper Street have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Ask for a quote

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Organising a club, school or community event in Cooper Street? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

We cook in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
School fairs, for a school like Sir Roger Manwood's School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. The coast is within about 6 miles of Cooper Street, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.

Planning the cooking area

- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
