Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Venue approval for outside catering
- An area to prepare hot tapas
- Parking near the venue
As a London location, Westerham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For event organisers in Westerham
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Questions from Westerham
Is parking a problem for events in Westerham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Are the tapas fresh?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served right away; cold ones go out as guests arrive.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Yes. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Why choose tapas catering in Westerham?
They make a perfect starter before paella.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Receptions and drinks parties
- Launches and office parties
- Sharing tapas starters
- Evening sharing boards
Nearby historic houses include Quebec House (less than half a mile south-east) and Chartwell (1.8 miles south). Where a historic venue does not allow live cooking, canapé tapas may still be possible; ask the venue.
