Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cater in Walter's Green?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Walter's Green and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Are the tapas served hot?
We finish hot dishes on site; cold ones go out as guests arrive.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you offer halal options?

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening receptions in Walter's Green stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
