Whether your event is in the middle of Satmar or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price.

For guests coming by train, Folkestone Central station is about 3 miles away. If you are looking at a historic venue around Satmar, check its catering rules early, as many limit cooking. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Satmar, ideal for an outdoor reception. The coast is within about 3 miles, so garlic prawns are popular.

What affects the price in Satmar
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of paellas

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Perfect for your event in Satmar
Tapas are sociable food.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Satmar, paella can be the star of the food. We frequently cook for:
- Drinks parties and receptions
- Office parties and launches
- Drinks reception canapés
- Evening sharing boards
A picnic in East Cliff and Warren Country Park? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is frequently easier for catering.

The menu, dish by dish
Croquetas
Always among the first to go.
Tortilla española
Tortilla is vegetarian and naturally gluten-free when made carefully.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer drinks reception in Satmar has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:00pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:50pm, are better indoors.

Satmar: your questions answered
Can you cook near the sea around Satmar?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
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 tapas catering available separately?
Yes, tapas work on their own.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How many tapas per person?
Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details and we will advise.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
