Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Ensure children stay back from the pans
  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them

We are set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.

Add bread, salad and lemon.

Planning the cooking area

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

What we offer

  • Mixed paella
  • Seafood paella
  • Churros
  • Tapas
  • Vegetable paella
  • Chicken & chorizo paella
  • Paella Valenciana

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • What the venue already provides
  • The courses you’d like
  • Expected numbers
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.

Who books paella party catering in Kingswood?

It suits mixed ages and mixed diets, from children to grandparents.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Wakes and celebrations of life
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Summer garden parties
  • Retirement and leaving parties

Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (1.5 miles north) and Stoneacre (2.9 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Step by step

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Sunset in Kingswood is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Is live paella right for your party?

Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Why us?

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Read Our pricing And Our guide to catering costs.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
