How far is Mountfield from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Mountfield

For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of All Saints, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.

Within about 6 miles is the High Weald National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN32. Local streets include Church Road, Solomon's Lane and Eatenden Lane; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Is live paella right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
