Paella party catering in Denton
Paella party catering for your party in Denton
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around Denton. Whether it is milestone birthdays and family get-togethers, we can cook mixed paella, tapas and seafood paella.
In a place like Denton, a garden party is generally the easiest option. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll bring everything else. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.

Denton: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Denton?
Gravesend station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Denton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- 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
