FAQs for West Horsley
Which station should guests use for West Horsley?
The closest is Horsley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How far is West Horsley from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Before you choose a spot

- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
