How our paella party catering works in Brasted Chart
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and street and neighbourhood parties, with vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
In Brasted Chart, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

For planners, venues and organisers

Brasted Chart questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Where we can cook in Brasted Chart
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Brasted Chart is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Why choose live paella in Brasted Chart?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
