Your questions about paella party catering in Gold Street
Could we have live paella in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Gold Street?
Sole Street station, in Gold Street itself.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How we price paella party catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have bins ready
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan seats for most guests
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Gold Street parties: what to know
Gold Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. For paella party catering in Gold Street, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Gold Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our events stretch from Gold Street to London (22 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Camer Park Country Park? Cooking in a public park normally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (0.6 miles north-east) and Starkey Castle (3.6 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

If your venue is just outside Gold Street, we also cover Sole Street (1 mile west), Round Street (1 mile north-west), Henley Street (1 mile south-east), Luddesdown (1 mile south-east) and Meopham (1 mile south-west).

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Gold Street until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
