Whatever you’re celebrating in Stowting, live paella can be the centrepiece. We often cook for:
- Festivals
- Feeding crew and volunteers
- Village fêtes

- What the caterer needs from your venue
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Stowting
Could we have live paella in Spong Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
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.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
