Drinks receptions around Brompton
Brompton is about 1 mile south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We bring tapas catering to homes, gardens and venues in Brompton and nearby villages. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
A picnic in Burton’s Court? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is often easier for catering. After a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Simon Zelotes, canapé tapas with the drinks keep guests happy during photos.
We cover events in every part of the SW3, SW7 and SW1X postcode area. From West Road, Hans Road and Eaton Lane or a nearby road, we can cook there. You will find Brompton on the A315 and A3212, so it is easy for us to reach with the van and pans.

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
About the dishes
Croquetas
Always among the first to go.
Manchego & membrillo
Spanish sheep’s cheese with quince paste.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Sunset in Brompton is around 9:20pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
