FAQs for Woolage Green
Do you come out to small places like Woolage Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
