Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The pans become the focal point, and the food is served hot and generous. For milestone birthdays and neighbourhood celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and churros.
For a party in Murston, your garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll do the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Murston questions
Which station should guests use for Murston?
Sittingbourne station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does paella party catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we’ll check.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
