How our paella party catering works in Kearsney
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and family get-togethers, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
In a place like Kearsney, a garden party is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we will do the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Is live paella right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. 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.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan seats for most guests

- Warn the neighbours
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

Kearsney parties: what to know
Kearsney is about 1 mile north-west of Dover, in Kent. Tell us where your party in Kearsney will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Kearsney is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Parks such as Old Park Hill usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Kearsney is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 3 miles, so seafood paella often features, and we always plan for wind.
Paella party catering in CT16 and CT17 is planned around your venue and timings. That could mean a party in a garden on Park Road, Lower Road and The Avenue. If your venue is just outside Kearsney, we also cover Temple Ewell (1 mile north), River (1 mile south-east), Whitfield (1 mile north-east), Wolverton (1 mile west) and Dover (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Ramsgate (15 miles north-east), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles south-west) and Walmer (7 miles north-east).

Your questions about paella party catering in Kearsney
Is Kearsney close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Can you cook near the sea around Kearsney?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
What affects the price in Kearsney
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote

Send us the date, your venue or CT16 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Kearsney until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
