Linton questions
Do you come out to small places like Linton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
What affects the price in Linton
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Sunset in Linton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
