Planning an event in Berrylands?
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue
- Unloading access
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
As a London location, Berrylands is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Tapas catering for your event in Berrylands
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. We are frequently asked to cater cocktail parties and drinks reception canapés, serving Manchego with membrillo, tortilla española and patatas bravas.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Berrylands. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Dishes our guests love
Gambas al ajillo
Prawns sizzled in garlic and olive oil with a little chilli.
Tortilla española
Potato omelette served in wedges or squares.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it is light in Berrylands until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
