Parties in Bonnington: gardens, venues and local tips
Bonnington is about 5 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Bonnington to the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cook in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Bonnington to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Parks such as Poulton Wood typically need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. After a christening at a church like Church of St Rumwold, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Bonnington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many courses
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for Bonnington
Could we have live paella in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Rumwold: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
