Paella party catering in Sharnal Street
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How our paella party catering works in Sharnal Street
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. For garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
In a small place like Sharnal Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
What affects the price in Sharnal Street
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available

Common questions in Sharnal Street
Is Sharnal Street close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cover Sharnal Street?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Sharnal Street and the rest of Medway. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more to start.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Have bins ready
- Let the neighbours know
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We are set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Sharnal Street stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
