The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Space to finish hot dishes

Your questions about tapas catering in Fisher
How far is Fisher from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes, tapas work on their own, for receptions, parties and evening food.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
