How our paella party catering works in Wierton
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. Whether it is wakes and memorial gatherings and baby celebrations, we can cook churros, vegetable paella and tapas.
Near Wierton, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
How we price paella party catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like

FAQs for Wierton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re 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’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
