Why choose live paella in Swaile's Green?

Questions from Swaile's Green
Is Swaile's Green close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
