About our paella party catering in Liverton Street
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and the food is served hot and generous. For retirement celebrations and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
In a small place like Liverton Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Step by step
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. Sunset in Liverton Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Nicholas, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

Liverton Street questions
What’s the nearest station to Liverton Street for guests?
Lenham station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Liverton Street close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
