Preston questions
Can you cook in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook near the sea around Preston?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
