FAQs for Kearsney
Is Kearsney close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Kearsney?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Kearsney have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
