How our paella party catering works in Beltinge
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. We cook seafood paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and birthday parties.
For a party in Beltinge, your garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll do the rest. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Where we can cook in Beltinge
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning a party in Beltinge
Beltinge is about 1 mile east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Parties in Beltinge are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Beltinge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cook. Our events stretch from Beltinge to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Parks such as Bishopstone Cliffs generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier. For guests coming by train, Herne Bay station is about 1.9 miles away. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice.

Is live paella right for your party?

At midsummer, it is light in Beltinge until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
