Wedding paella catering in Westerham

Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Westerham

Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. We are frequently asked to cater garden and marquee weddings and parties after a register office wedding, with canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella.

In Westerham, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Choosing a paella caterer

Dishes our guests love

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.

Planning the cooking area

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Golden-hour photos in Westerham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Why choose live paella in Westerham?

If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in Westerham

What’s the nearest station to Westerham for guests?

The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 3.4 miles away.

Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.

Do you do starters?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Can you provide dessert?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
