Tapas catering in Cyprus
Tapas catering in Cyprus, cooked live
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers, and some can be gluten-free. We’re often asked to cater anniversary parties and engagement celebrations, with Serrano ham, patatas bravas and padrón peppers.
Tapas work well for receptions and parties in Cyprus, in a home, a venue or an office. Let us know about parking and loading. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Access to unload near the serving area
As a London location, Cyprus is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Cyprus? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
What tapas catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of paellas
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Tapas for events in Cyprus
Cyprus is about 2 miles east of Canning Town, in Greater London. For tapas catering in Cyprus, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Cyprus is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Canapé tapas suit the drinks after a ceremony at a church like St Michael and All Angels Church. Guests travelling by rail: Woolwich station is about 1.3 miles away.
This part of Greater London takes in E6 and E16. Streets in the area include Strait Road, Harper Road and Trader Road, and we can cook for an event on any of them. We also cook at events in Beckton (1 mile north-east), North Woolwich (1 mile south), Royal Docks (1 mile west), East Ham (1 mile north) and Custom House (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Greenwich Castle (3.6 miles south-west) and North Woolwich Old Station Museum (0.7 miles south). Open spaces near Cyprus include Gilbert's Pit.

- Other local spots include East Ham (1.6 miles north)
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. Evening receptions in Cyprus stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

Live paella or other catering?

Common questions in Cyprus
Which station should guests use for Cyprus?
The closest is Woolwich station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you cook in Beckton District Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you come to Cyprus?
Yes, we do. Cyprus is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you serve drinks with tapas?
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
