Paella party catering for your party in Kings Hill
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and wakes and celebrations of life, serving mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
For a party in Kings Hill, your garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll bring everything else. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Kings Hill
How far is Kings Hill from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Warn the neighbours
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Count adults and children separately
- Have bins ready
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a late-May party in Kings Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
