Tapas catering in Enstone, cooked live
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. Popular choices include Manchego with membrillo, albóndigas and patatas bravas, and we are frequently booked for evening sharing boards and receptions and drinks parties.
Near Enstone, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Common questions in Enstone
Is Enstone too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Kenelm: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much tapas do we need?
We plan quantities around your timings and courses. Tell us more for a suggestion.
Can we add drinks?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served right away; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Why choose live paella in Enstone?
Plated starters need a kitchen. Table tapas are shared and relaxed. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
