Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Is live paella right for your event?
Generic canapés all look the same. Tapas bring something different. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Brownbread Street
Do you come out to small places like Brownbread Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How much tapas do we need?
Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details and we’ll advise.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
