On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.

What affects the price in Neames Forstal
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Questions from Neames Forstal
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
