Questions from Norton Ash
Which station should guests use for Norton Ash?
Teynham station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Norton Ash too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cover Norton Ash?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Norton Ash is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
