How far is Godden Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Godden Green?
The closest is Bat & Ball station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

How our paella party catering works in Godden Green
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. For big birthdays and naming days and christenings, we can cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Country parties near Godden Green suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Why choose live paella in Godden Green?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- We cover Godden Green and the whole of Kent

Godden Green parties: what to know

For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Bat & Ball station, about 1.8 miles north-west. Thinking of a party in Knole Park? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Godden Green, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Kent takes in TN15, so your party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Park Lane and Back Lane, and we can cook for a party on any of them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Godden Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it is light in Godden Green until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
