Westbere: your questions answered
Is Westbere close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Westbere?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces often work, subject to the building’s rules.
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. If in doubt, send a picture.
Business events near Westbere
Westbere is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Westbere to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cover 922 places across Kent.
Central London is about 55 miles from Westbere, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Anywhere in CT2, we can bring corporate paella catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Island Road, Pennington Close and Bushy Hill Road or a nearby road, we will bring the pans to you. Neighbouring places where we cater work events include Hersden (1 mile north-east), Sturry (1 mile west), Calcott (2 miles north-west), Broad Oak (2 miles west) and Stodmarsh (2 miles east).

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
