Live tapas catering in Brook Green
Tapas catering in Brook Green, cooked live
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. Whether it is evening grazing and drinks parties and receptions, we’ll put together a menu of Manchego with membrillo, tortilla española and gambas al ajillo and more.
In Brook Green, tapas suit drinks receptions, evening parties and work events, indoors or out. Tell us about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Collect dietary needs
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.

Local streets include Adie Road, Rowan Road and Anley Road; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue
- A spot for our serving station
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
As a London location, Brook Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- We check your date.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day

Brook Green questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of Saint Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Brook Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you come to Brook Green?
We do. Brook Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
