Paella catering in CT15: what to expect
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, very little goes to waste, and the food is served hot. It is why live paella suits so many kinds of event. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and milestone birthday parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and black rice.
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Paella catering in CT15: local guide
Across CT15, we cook in 3 towns and 35 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Dover, Tower Hamlets and Charlton-in-Dover or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings. Around 34 places in CT15 are close to the coast, where we always plan shelter from the wind.
St Margaret's at Cliffe: Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (3.5 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Around midsummer it stays light in St Margaret's at Cliffe until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
What paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
