Woldingham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Woldingham for guests?
The closest is Woldingham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is Woldingham too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
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, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

What affects the price in Woldingham
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The number of people
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
