Paella party catering in Womenswold, cooked live
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. For naming days and christenings and neighbourhood celebrations, we will put together a menu of vegetable paella, tapas and churros and more.
In a small place like Womenswold, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
What affects the price in Womenswold
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. 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:
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the space, if you can
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
About the dishes
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning a party in Womenswold
Womenswold is about 7 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT4, we can cook for your guests. Womenswold is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our events stretch from Womenswold to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Margaret, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (2.8 miles north-east). 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 6 miles of Womenswold, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Kent takes in CT4. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Woolage Green (1 mile south-east), Gravel Castle (1 mile south-west), Barham (1 mile west), Aylesham (1 mile north-east) and Out Elmstead (1 mile west). We also cook in nearby towns such as Ashford (15 miles west), Canterbury (7 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north-east), Dover (7 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south) and Ramsgate (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.8 miles north-west).
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
