Moor Street questions
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 follow the site rules.
Is Moor Street too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan seats for most guests
- Let the neighbours know
- Give separate numbers for children
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Moor Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
