Planning an event in Well Street?

How it works

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Evening events in Well Street have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
  2. We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
  4. We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
  5. We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Let us know the timings for the day

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
  • Make allergen information visible at every stall
  • Ask about peak-time capacity
  • Ask traders about packaging and waste

We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Paella compared with other options

Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What you get with us

  • We cover Well Street and the whole of Kent
  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Before you choose a spot

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Clear information on power, water and waste
  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • Your trader pack and site rules

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Chicken & chorizo paella
  • Giant paella pans
