Questions from Sandhurst Cross
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’ll follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Sandhurst Cross?
Robertsbridge station, about 4.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
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. Golden-hour photos in Sandhurst Cross at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
