Grubb Street questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Grubb Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What if our speeches run late?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Anything your venue supplies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
About the dishes
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.
Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
