Milton-next-Gravesend questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Milton-next-Gravesend for guests?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Dessert
- Sangria & bar staff
- Evening paella
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
