Questions from Peacehaven
What’s the nearest station to Peacehaven for guests?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you cook near the sea around Peacehaven?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
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.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
