About our paella party catering in Hodsoll Street
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the whole menu is sorted. Whether it’s naming days and christenings and garden parties and summer barbecues, we will put together a menu of tapas, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
In a small place like Hodsoll Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
What paella party catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- The length of service
- Whether you need crockery
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Questions from Hodsoll Street
Do you come out to small places like Hodsoll Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Hodsoll Street for guests?
Meopham station, about 3.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a photo and we’ll check.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Who books paella party catering in Hodsoll Street?
It works for all ages and diets, from children to grandparents.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Christenings and naming days
- Family reunions
- Street and neighbourhood parties

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Hodsoll Street stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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 pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. 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. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Is live paella right for your party?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
