How our paella party catering works in Stockland Green
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a picture. We cook vegetable paella, seafood paella and mixed paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and garden get-togethers.
A country party near Stockland Green is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Warn the neighbours
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us how many children are coming
Children love watching the paella cook.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Catering across Kent, including Stockland Green
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- A quote that spells everything out
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Questions from Stockland Green
Is Stockland Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
