Paella catering across DA11
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is exactly what we bring to your event in DA11. Popular choices include vegan paella, seafood paella and mixed paella, and we are frequently booked for christenings and family gatherings and company summer parties.
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.

Paella catering in DA11: local guide
Across DA11, we cook in 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Gravesend, Northfleet and Windmill Hill to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Northfleet: Parks such as Northfleet Urban Country Park normally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (3.7 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking, so ask early if you’re booking one. Planning an evening event in Northfleet? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
What affects the price in DA11
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together.
What your quote should include
- The deadline for final numbers
- Staff numbers and hours
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Who books paella catering?

We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Summer garden parties
- Retirement celebrations
- Company summer parties
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
