Festival paella catering in Frogham, cooked live
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. Popular choices include churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and open days and community events.
At a field event near Frogham, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Frogham stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Event catering near Frogham
Frogham is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Frogham to the outskirts, festival paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Frogham is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Running a fête for a church like Church of St Nicholas? A paella pan draws people in. Within about 7 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

What else we do in Frogham
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Common questions in Frogham

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
