Questions from South Harting
How far is South Harting from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to South Harting for guests?
Petersfield station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
