Live paella or other catering?

Standard canapés can feel samey. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Why book with us

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • A quote that spells everything out

Why choose tapas catering in Brentham Garden Suburb?

  • Tapas starters

DIY paella versus live catering

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What affects the price in Brentham Garden Suburb

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Guest numbers
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Whether you need crockery

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • The venue or postcode
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Anything your venue supplies

Send us the date, your venue or W5 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
