Your questions about tapas catering in Billingbear
Is Billingbear close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Bracknell Forest. See all areas.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater in Billingbear?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Billingbear and across Bracknell Forest. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Of course. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Paella compared with other options
For food that gets people mingling, tapas work brilliantly. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Label seafood clearly
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
We clear our equipment when service ends.
Follow tapas with a live paella.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space to finish hot dishes
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Parking near the venue

Organising a club, school or community event in Billingbear? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
How we price tapas catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name
