Paella catering near Broom Street
Paella catering in Broom Street, made fresh on the day
There is something generous about paella: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. We cook vegan paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we’re often booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and retirement and leaving parties.
Somewhere like Broom Street, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Tell us what else is being served
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t provide them.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Live paella in Broom Street: local details
Broom Street is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME13, we will come to your venue or garden. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Broom Street to Canterbury (7 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Faversham station, about 2.1 miles south-west. Thinking of a picnic-style party in South Swale? Public parks typically need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. Broom Street is within about 5 miles of the sea, and seafood paella always feels right near the sea. Coastal wind means we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover events in every part of ME13. Close by, we cover events in Graveney (1 mile south-east), Culmers (1 mile south-east), Goodnestone (1 mile south), Slutshole (2 miles south-east) and Hernhill (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles west), Whitstable (5 miles north-east), Herne Bay (9 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-west).
A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.6 miles north-east).
- Local schools include Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (1.8 miles west)
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Common questions in Broom Street
Is Broom Street close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
