Planning a party in East Street
East Street is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, we can bring the pans to you. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our events stretch from East Street to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4.3 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Nicholas, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 6 miles, so seafood paella frequently features.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

East Street questions
Is East Street close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.

Sandwich station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability straight away.
