Why choose live paella in Breach?
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Your questions about tapas catering in Breach
Could we have live paella in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far is Breach from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cover Breach?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Breach and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. We will suggest quantities for your event.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Label seafood clearly
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
Canapés circulate with drinks.
Churros or crema catalana to finish.
