Coxhill Green questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Coxhill Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you do sangria?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
How our tapas catering works in Coxhill Green
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. Popular choices include padrón peppers, croquetas and patatas bravas, and we’re frequently booked for welcome-drink canapés and receptions and drinks parties.
In a rural spot like Coxhill Green, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
Is live paella right for your event?
Standard canapés can feel samey. Tapas bring something different. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Coxhill Green is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.
