How our festival paella catering works in Fleeden
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for VIP and hospitality areas and food and music festivals.

Fleeden events: pitches and permissions
Fleeden is about 3 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Fleeden will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We cook in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Fleeden to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as John Wallis Academy, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For visitors coming by rail, Pluckley station is about 2.8 miles away. Within about 7 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
We cook at events all over the TN26 postcode area and the streets around it.

Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
