Hosting a paella party in Waldershare
Waldershare is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Tell us where your party in Waldershare will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We cook in 922 places in Kent. We cook right across the region, from Waldershare to Canterbury (10 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Church of St Pancras, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Waldershare, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking

What paella party catering costs
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware

What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Waldershare is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
