Weddings in Westwood: venues, ceremonies and travel
Westwood is about 3 miles south of Swanscombe, in Kent. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Westwood or on the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Westwood is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cook right across the region, from Westwood to London (18 miles away).
For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Longfield station, about 1 mile south. Planning photos in Longfield Chalk Bank? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access and cooking rules with the venue.
This part of Kent takes in DA13 and DA2, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Westwood Road and Highcross Road; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella. Close by, we cover weddings in Grubb Street (1 mile south-west), Green Street Green (1 mile west), Bean (1 mile north-west), St Margarets (2 miles west) and Darenth (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (14 miles south-east), Dartford (4 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (4 miles east), Tonbridge (15 miles south) and Northfleet (3 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Stone Museum of Geology (3.3 miles north-west) and Bluewater (2.3 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Sawyers Lake.

- Nearby, you will find Railway Tavern (0.8 miles south)
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Westwood
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and weddings with mixed diets.
A wedding in a small place like Westwood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers

- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.

- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
