Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Add a diet question to the invitation
Children love watching the paella cook.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Your questions about paella party catering in Oare
Do you come out to small places like Oare?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Oare from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oare.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cater in Oare?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Oare and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Oare stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

What we need at the venue

- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
