Paella party catering in Hythe End, cooked live
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues. We’re frequently asked to cater big family gatherings and summer garden parties, serving tapas, mixed paella and seafood paella.
In a small place like Hythe End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Paella compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Warn the neighbours
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
