How tapas catering works in City of London
The best spreads mix hot and cold: cold cheese and ham with hot bravas, croquetas and garlic prawns. Typical bookings include launches and office parties and engagement parties, serving albóndigas, padrón peppers and Manchego with membrillo.
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.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- We serve the spread.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
What you’ll pay
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Croquetas disappear fast.
Patatas bravas
Fried potatoes with spicy sauce, often with alioli.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Live paella or other catering?
Tapas are flexible, which makes them easy to plan around.
Questions to ask before you book

City of London questions
How do you work out quantities?
That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
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 can plan it carefully.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
