What else we do in Satmar
Your questions about paella party catering in Satmar
Which station should guests use for Satmar?
Folkestone Central station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Is my garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
