How our paella party catering works in Nash
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. Whether it is family reunions and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
A country party near Nash is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

For a quote, it helps to have:
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your party in Nash, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.

Hosting a paella party in Nash
Nash is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. For paella party catering in Nash, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. We cater in 922 places across Kent. Our events stretch from Nash to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Elmstone Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.
Wherever your party is in CT3, we can cook for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. If your venue is just outside Nash, we also cover Hoaden (1 mile north-east), Perry (1 mile west), Shatterling (1 mile south-west), Elmstone (1 mile north) and Durlock (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (7 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include White Mill (3.6 miles east) and St Martins Hospital (6 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Nash questions
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Elmstone Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is usually the best advert for the party.
Is live paella right for your party?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
