Paella party catering in Halfway Houses, cooked live
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We cook tapas, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for anniversaries and engagement parties and family reunions.
Around Halfway Houses, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Tapas
- Paella Valenciana
- Vegetable paella
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Churros

Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Events in Halfway Houses and across Kent

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Tell us how many children are coming
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.

Your questions about paella party catering in Halfway Houses
Is Halfway Houses close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
