Questions from Liverton Street
Can you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you come to Liverton Street?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Liverton Street and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.

Why choose live paella in Liverton Street?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Fast service from the pan

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Summer events in Liverton Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
