Common questions in Woolage Village
How far is Woolage Village from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Absolutely. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, events in Woolage Village stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Events in Woolage Village and across Kent
- Served hot, straight from the pan

What affects the price in Woolage Village
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
