Questions from Lower Hartlip

Can you cook in Foxburrow Wood?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Is Lower Hartlip close to London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Can staff get involved?

Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.

Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
