FAQs for Liverton Street
Can you cook at venues 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 Liverton Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Count day and evening guests separately
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a summer wedding in Liverton Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
