Westerham parties: what to know
Westerham is about 5 miles west of Sevenoaks, in Greater London. We cook at parties in homes, gardens and venues in Westerham. We cater in 764 places across Greater London. Our events stretch from Westerham to London (17 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Quebec House (under half a mile south-east) and Chartwell (1.8 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Westerham is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Westerham: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Westerham for guests?
Hurst Green station, about 3.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Usually, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
How much does paella party catering cost in Westerham?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
