FAQs for Cliffe
Is Cliffe close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can you cook at our office?

Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Cliffe, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
