For event organisers in Kent Street
Organising a club, school or community event in Kent Street? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Perfect for your wedding in Kent Street
Paella feels relaxed and generous, which is why couples choose it, and guests talk about it afterwards.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Evening wedding food
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Sharing-style wedding meals
- Garden and marquee weddings
Historic houses near Kent Street include Durhamford Manor (2.2 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking.

How it works

At midsummer, sunset in Kent Street is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Common questions in Kent Street
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Kent Street?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Paella compared with other options
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
