Your questions about tapas catering in Amersham
Is Amersham close to London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Yes, if you want them. Canapés need staff to serve.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How our tapas catering works in Amersham
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. We cook Manchego with membrillo, Serrano ham and croquetas, and we are regularly asked to cater launches and office parties and sharing boards for evening guests.
Tapas work for parties and receptions in Amersham. We need a small area to finish hot tapas. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Who books tapas catering in Amersham?
They’re ideal when a full meal does not fit.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Engagement celebrations
- Launches and office parties
- Tapas before paella
- Sharing boards for evening guests
Nearby historic houses include Chenies Manor House (3 miles east). Where a historic venue doesn’t allow live cooking, canapé tapas may still be possible; ask the venue.

What affects the price in Amersham
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
