Slaugham questions
How far is Slaugham from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Slaugham for guests?
Balcombe station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share the timings for food
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
