Running an event in Udimore
Udimore is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Udimore, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Udimore is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from Udimore to Canterbury (30 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Winchelsea station, about 2.1 miles east. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and seafood paella sells well by the sea.
Anywhere in TN31, we can bring festival paella catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Udimore Road and Float Lane or anywhere nearby, we can cook there. We also cook at events in Cock Marling (1 mile east), Broadland Row (1 mile west), Broad Street (1 mile south), Icklesham (2 miles south) and Beckley Furnace (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (6 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south-west), St Leonards (7 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (6 miles south-west), Belmont (6 miles south-west) and Hollington (7 miles south-west).
A little further out are Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (2.5 miles south-east) and Conquest Hospital (5.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood.
What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in Udimore have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
