Paella party catering for your party in Adisham
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of churros, seafood paella and mixed paella and more.
In a small place like Adisham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Adisham: your questions answered
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.
How far is Adisham from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in Adisham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Adisham is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Hosting a paella party in Adisham
Adisham is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Adisham to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent.
Historic houses near Adisham include Goodnestone Park (1.6 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of the Holy Innocents, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Adisham is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Paella party catering in CT3 is planned around your venue. Streets in the area include Station Road, The Street and Church Lane, and we can cook for a party on any of them. We also cook at parties in Bloodden (1 mile south-east), Aylesham (1 mile south), Bramling (2 miles north), Bekesbourne (2 miles north-west) and Womenswold (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (5 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (9 miles south-east), Folkestone (11 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are St Martins Hospital (4.3 miles north-west).
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it is light in Adisham until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Mixed paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Seafood paella
- Vegetable paella
- Tapas
- Paella Valenciana
- Churros
