Farleigh Wallop: your questions answered
Is Farleigh Wallop close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. Andrew: 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 cover Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, we do. Farleigh Wallop is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Are the tapas served hot?
Hot tapas are finished on site so they’re served at their best.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you serve drinks with tapas?
Yes. Sangria can be added, and bar staff if you are providing the drinks.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Add sangria or cava
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
Canapés go round with the drinks.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Farleigh Wallop? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want food that encourages guests to mingle, tapas are hard to beat. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

What tapas catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue

- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
