Hosting a paella party in Kevington
Kevington is about 1 mile east of Orpington, in Greater London. Parties in Kevington are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. We cover 764 places across Greater London. We cook right across the region, from Kevington to London (about 13 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Unity Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Lullingstone Castle (3.2 miles south-east) and Hall Place and Gardens (4.4 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Kevington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cover parties in every part of the BR5 postcode area. That could mean a party in a garden on Crockenhill Road and Sheepcote Lane or the roads around them. We also cook at parties in Derry Downs (1 mile west), Crockenhill (1 mile east), St Mary Cray (1 mile west), Orpington (1 mile west) and Poverest (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (15 miles north-west), Shoreditch (13 miles north-west) and Walthamstow (15 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Lullingstone Castle (3.2 miles south-east) and London Borough of Bromley Museum (1.5 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and The Warren.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Kevington questions
We are having a ceremony at Unity Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
Send us the date, your venue or BR5 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a late-May party in Kevington, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Is live paella right for your party?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
