Festival paella catering near Four Oaks
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Events in Four Oaks and across Kent
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Drinks service on request

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Evening events in Four Oaks have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
