Paella party catering for your party in Snowdown
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include birthday parties and neighbourhood celebrations, serving tapas, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
A country party near Snowdown is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event

- Roughly how many adults and children

Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Live paella or other catering?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Hosting a paella party in Snowdown
Snowdown is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Snowdown to the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. We cook in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Snowdown to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Snowdown station is in Snowdown itself. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Peter, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Snowdown is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Paella party catering in CT15 is planned around your venue and timings. Your party could be at a home on The Crescent, South Avenue and Weston Mews. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Nonington (1 mile north-east), Woolage Village (1 mile south-west), Frogham (1 mile south-east), Ratling (1 mile north) and Barfrestone (2 miles south-east).

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Snowdown stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
