About our tapas catering in Brentford End
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. Popular choices include Manchego with membrillo, padrón peppers and gambas al ajillo, and we’re often booked for tapas and paella menus and receptions and drinks parties.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Brentford End. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Your questions about tapas catering in Brentford End
Can you cook in Boston Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Live paella or other catering?
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. We quote for each event individually.
