How our tapas catering works in Edmonton
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and some can be gluten-free. On the menu are padrón peppers, Manchego with membrillo and gambas al ajillo, and we are regularly asked to cater sharing boards for evening guests and tapas starters.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Edmonton. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Receptions and parties in Edmonton
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. From the centre of Edmonton to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
Parks such as Pymmes Park have their own rules for catering, so check before planning a party there. Nearby historic houses include Bruce Castle (1.8 miles south) and Forty Hall (3.2 miles north). Where a historic venue does not allow live cooking, canapé tapas may still be possible; ask the venue.
Here we cover the N9, N18, N13 and EN1 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the pans to you. Main roads around Edmonton include the B137 and B154, so getting the burners and pans to your event is simple. Close by, we cover events in Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). We also cook in nearby towns such as London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Permission from the venue
- Space to finish hot dishes
Edmonton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Olives & bread

What affects the price in Edmonton
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Edmonton until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:50pm, are better indoors.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We pack down when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
How to get a price
