Your questions about paella party catering in Hucking
Which station should guests use for Hucking?
Hollingbourne station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
How far is Hucking from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
How our paella party catering works in Hucking
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children generally love a simple chicken paella. We cook vegetable paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and celebrations of life.
A country party near Hucking is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For a late-May party in Hucking, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
