Paella party catering for Colliers Green events
Is live paella right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Events in Colliers Green and across Kent

Paella party catering in Colliers Green, made fresh on the day
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the whole menu is sorted. On the menu are vegetable paella, mixed paella and churros, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
In a small place like Colliers Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give separate numbers for children
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
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.

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Colliers Green until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
