Godinton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Godinton to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Godinton House (0.8 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. December events in Godinton are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
