Parties in Biggin Hill: gardens, venues and local tips
Biggin Hill is about 6 miles east of Caterham, in Greater London. Give us the address of your party in Biggin Hill, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Biggin Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cook. Our events stretch from Biggin Hill to London (14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Down House (1.7 miles north-east) and Titsey Place (2.4 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like St Mark's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Biggin Hill is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

At midsummer, it’s light in Biggin Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
