Paella party catering for Rowsham events
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella party catering in Rowsham, made fresh on the day
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Whether it is baby celebrations and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook tapas, vegetable paella and seafood paella for your guests.
In a small place like Rowsham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Tell us how many children are coming
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Your questions about paella party catering in Rowsham
Do you come out to small places like Rowsham?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
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.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
