Tapas catering in Coney Hall

About our tapas catering in Coney Hall

We’ll recommend a tapas selection for your event, whether tapas are a starter or the whole meal. For welcome-drink canapés and launches and office parties, we’ll put together a menu of padrón peppers, Serrano ham and Manchego with membrillo and more.

Tapas work well for receptions and parties in Coney Hall, in a home, a venue or an office. Let us know about parking and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

What affects the price in Coney Hall

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • How many staff you need
  • The number of people
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Your choice of paellas

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Which courses you have in mind

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book 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.

Paella compared with other options

Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

For event organisers in Coney Hall

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Canapés need staff to serve
  • Collect dietary needs
  • Plan more dishes if tapas are the meal
  • Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event

Afterwards, we clear away.

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. Evening receptions in Coney Hall stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  2. You get a selection and a price.
  3. We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
  4. We serve canapés or table tapas.
  5. We pack down when service ends.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Let us know the timings for the day

Your questions about tapas catering in Coney Hall

Could we have live paella in Millers Pond?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

What about parking in Coney Hall?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Can you cook indoors?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Is tapas catering available separately?

Of course. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you cater in Coney Hall?

We do. We cook at events in Coney Hall and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

Planning the cooking area

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • An area to prepare hot tapas
  • Permission from the venue
  • Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals

Coney Hall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
