Hosting a paella party in Eythorne
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Across the CT15 area, we will come to your venue or garden. Eythorne is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our events stretch from Eythorne to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Historic houses near Eythorne include Goodnestone Park (3.6 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Eythorne, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 6 miles, so seafood paella frequently features, and we always plan for wind.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why choose live paella in Eythorne?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
