Paella catering across CT19
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. Typical bookings include staff parties and work lunches and leaving dos and retirements, with chicken and chorizo paella, black rice and vegan paella.
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.

Catering events across CT19
CT19 covers everything from Folkestone, Cheriton and Newington to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access. Around 3 places in CT19 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind, and seafood paella is popular.
Cheriton: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of All Souls, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, can book us as a food stall. Planning an evening event in Cheriton? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

What paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings

Paella compared with other options
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A paella pan serves many portions quickly, so everyone can eat at the same time.
Questions to ask before booking
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deadline for final numbers
- Staff numbers and hours
- What the caterer needs from your venue
About the dishes
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
