Tapas catering in Brent Park
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For food that gets people mingling, tapas work brilliantly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Tapas catering in Brent Park, made fresh on the day

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
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.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Diets and allergies you know about
Send us the date, your venue or NW10 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Room for a tapas table
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
As a London location, Brent Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Brent Park until about 9:20pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- We check your date.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- We clear away at the end.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Common questions in Brent Park
Can you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
