Planning an event in Womenswold?
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For an evening event in Womenswold, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

Festival paella catering in Womenswold, made fresh on the day
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. Popular choices include seafood paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for school fairs and fundraisers and VIP and hospitality areas.
At a field event near Womenswold, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Womenswold questions
Do you cater 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.
Which station should guests use for Womenswold?
Snowdown station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
