Brentford: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Congregational Church?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Brentford for guests?
Brentford has its own station: Brentford station.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you have vegetarian tapas?
Yes. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Staff make canapés work, which we can supply.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Tapas catering in Brentford, made fresh on the day
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. We are frequently asked to cater tapas and paella menus and canapés with welcome drinks, serving Manchego with membrillo, albóndigas and patatas bravas.
In Brentford, tapas suit drinks receptions, evening parties and work events, in a home, a venue or an office. Tell us about access and parking. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What affects the price in Brentford
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Brentford 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.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Plan cover in case of rain

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space to finish hot dishes
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
Brentford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
