Perfect for your event in Westerham
There’s no kitchen needed, so it works in gardens, fields and marquees where other catering struggles.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Naming days and family parties
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
- Birthday celebrations
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Nearby historic houses include Quebec House (less than half a mile south-east) and Chartwell (1.8 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one.

- Travel and parking costs
- How long the team stays
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Westerham? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Westerham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches

About the dishes
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
