Tapas catering in Brunswick Park

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Space on each table
  • The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
  • Access to unload near the serving area

As a London location, Brunswick Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

  • Patatas bravas
  • Manchego & membrillo
  • Croquetas
  • Albóndigas
  • Serrano ham
  • Tortilla española
  • Olives & bread
  • Padrón peppers
  • Chorizo in red wine
  • Gambas al ajillo

Tapas catering in Brunswick Park, cooked live

Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. For drinks parties and receptions and work receptions, we can cook tortilla española, gambas al ajillo and albóndigas.

Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Brunswick Park. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What tapas catering costs

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Travel, parking and access

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Separate seafood dishes from the rest
  • Add sangria or cava
  • Canapés need staff to serve
  • Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event

Dishes are labelled for diets and allergens.

Spanish desserts to finish.

Who books tapas catering in Brunswick Park?

Tapas are sociable food, because everyone shares.

We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Brunswick Park and nearby. Popular bookings include:

  • Evening grazing
  • Anniversary parties
  • Engagement parties
  • Tapas starters

A picnic in Friary Park? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is often easier for catering.

Before you book anyone

  • How late numbers can change
  • How long the team stays
  • The wet-weather plan
  • Space, access and power needs

12 questions to ask before you book

For event organisers in Brunswick Park

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Brunswick Park questions

We’re having a ceremony at Oakleigh Community Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Can you cook in Friary Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?

Lots. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Is tapas catering available separately?

Absolutely.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

Do you come to Brunswick Park?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Brunswick Park is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.

How the day works

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Brunswick Park is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
  2. We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
  3. We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
  4. We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
  5. We clear away our equipment when service is finished.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
