Country parties near Warren Street suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Common questions in Warren Street
Could we have live paella in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
What happens on the day
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. A summer party in Warren Street stays light until about 9:15pm 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.
