What else we do in Satmar
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Satmar? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For an evening event in Satmar, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Live paella or other catering?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Running an event in Satmar
Satmar is about 3 miles north-east of Folkestone, in Kent. Events in Satmar are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Satmar is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our events stretch from Satmar to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
If your event is in East Cliff and Warren Country Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Satmar, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 3 miles of Satmar, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We cater events across the CT18 postcode area. If your venue is just outside Satmar, we also cover Capel-le-Ferne (1 mile south-west), West Hougham (1 mile north-east), Drellingore (1 mile north-west), Church Hougham (1 mile east) and South Alkham (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Dover (4 miles north-east), Folkestone (3 miles south-west), Deal (10 miles north-east), Hythe (7 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (4 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Folkestone Castle (2.8 miles west) and Royal Victoria Hospital (2.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Satmar includes Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.
What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check allergen info is on display
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We set up at the agreed time.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Satmar questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Satmar too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
