Ringmer questions
What’s the nearest station to Ringmer for guests?
Glynde station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
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.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Ringmer, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
