Hosting a paella party in Mundy Bois
Mundy Bois is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. For paella party catering in Mundy Bois, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Mundy Bois to Canterbury (17 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St James, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Godinton House (5 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Mundy Bois, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in TN27, we can cook for your guests. Your party could be at a home on Munday Bois Road, Kingsland Lane and Greenhill Lane or the roads around them. For parties just outside Mundy Bois, we cover Newland Green (1 mile west), Egerton Forstal (1 mile west), Egerton (1 mile north), Potter's Forstal (1 mile north-west) and Pluckley Thorne (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (10 miles north-west), Ashford (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles north), Faversham (12 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles north-west) and Davington (12 miles north-east).

Mundy Bois questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Mundy Bois close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, it is light in Mundy Bois until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
