Common questions in Lingfield Common
Which station should guests use for Lingfield Common?
Lingfield station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Lingfield Wildlife Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
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 much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Lingfield Common have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
