FAQs for Frostlane
Can you cook near the sea around Frostlane?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
