Sandhurst questions
Can you cook in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is Sandhurst close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability right away.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
