Tapas catering in Beacon Hill, cooked live
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. We’re often asked to cater sharing boards for evening guests and engagement drinks, with gambas al ajillo, patatas bravas and tortilla española.
In a rural spot like Beacon Hill, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Beacon Hill until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
