Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

The space is left clean and tidy.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Shripney for staff parties and team days

Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Tell us where your work event in Shripney will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We cover 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 24 miles away.

For staff and clients coming by train, Bognor Regis station is about 1.7 miles away. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (12 miles west).

What affects the price in Shripney

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Guest numbers
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The length of service
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The address or venue name
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

FAQs for Shripney

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Could we have live paella in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

What documents can you provide?

Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

How much space do you need?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
