Hosting a paella party in Marshborough
Marshborough is about 5 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your party is in the middle of Marshborough or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Marshborough is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Sandwich station, about 1.7 miles east. Thinking of a party in Ham Fen?

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Marshborough stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
