Questions from Hangleton
Can you cook near the sea around Hangleton?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Hangleton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

We do. Hangleton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

- Plan a covered spot for wet weather

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
