About our tapas catering in Fifield
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. Whether it is sharing boards for evening guests and launches and office parties, we can cook patatas bravas, albóndigas and padrón peppers for your guests.
For a country party near Fifield, tapas and sangria set the mood. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Fifield questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Fifield?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you come to Fifield?
We do. Fifield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Fifield until about 9:30pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.

Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

What tapas catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
