Paella party catering in Faversham
About our paella party catering in Faversham
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For naming days and christenings and summer garden parties, we can cook tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Garden parties are a favourite in Faversham, and a hall or club works if the garden does not. All we need is a level cooking spot. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Faversham until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

For event organisers in Faversham
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Dishes our guests love
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
