Popular choices include seafood paella, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement celebrations.
A country party near Kingsgate is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

FAQs for Kingsgate
Is Kingsgate close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Kingsgate?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much does paella party catering cost in Kingsgate?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
