Planning a team event in Farleigh

Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Give us the address of your work event in Farleigh, and we will plan access and set-up. We cook in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our events stretch from Farleigh to London (12 miles away).

For staff and clients coming by train, the nearest station is Upper Warlingham station, about 2.3 miles south-west. Central London is about 12 miles from Farleigh, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.

Here we cover the CR6 postcode area, so your work event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Farleigh Court Road and Old Farleigh Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. We also cook at work events in Chelsham (1 mile south), Fickleshole (1 mile east), Forestdale (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile north-east) and Hamsey Green (1 mile west).

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
