Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Green Street Green
Can you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
