What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. A summer drinks reception in Furner's Green has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

What’s the nearest station to Furner's Green for guests?
Haywards Heath station, about 5 miles west of the centre.

Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Lots. Tortilla, bravas and Manchego are popular vegetarian choices.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
