Questions from Eastry
Could we have live paella in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Eastry?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
