A closer look at the menu
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It’s often the most popular pan at an event.
Paella catering in Robertsbridge, made fresh on the day
There is something generous about paella: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and leaving dos and retirements, with paella Valenciana, vegan paella and seafood paella.
In a hamlet or village like Robertsbridge, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
