How our paella party catering works in Broomhill
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For family reunions and garden get-togethers, we can cook tapas, seafood paella and vegetable paella and more.
In a small place like Broomhill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Why choose live paella in Broomhill?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Catering across Kent, including Broomhill
- A clear, itemised quote

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:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Give separate numbers for children
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
We’re set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Broomhill is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We cater parties at homes, gardens and venues in Broomhill. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Mary's Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (2.5 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
We cook at parties all over the CT3 postcode area. We can cater a party on streets such as Wenderton Lane, North Court Road and Miles Court or the roads around them. Close by, we cover parties in Wingham (1 mile south), Shatterling (1 mile east), Well Head (1 mile south), Perry (1 mile north-east) and Wingham Green (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (6 miles west), Margate (10 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (11 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.8 miles west). Open spaces near Broomhill include Monk's Wall nature reserve.

Broomhill: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Broomhill from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We’ll check availability right away.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Typically, if there is outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
- 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
