Sutton at Hone: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Sutton at Hone?
Farningham Road station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Darenth Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Get facilities approval early
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
