Your questions about festival paella catering in Frittenden
Do you trade at school fairs around Frittenden?

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cover Frittenden?

Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
