The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Udimore, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Questions from Udimore
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.
What’s the nearest station to Udimore for guests?
Winchelsea station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
