Tapas catering for George Green events
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Tapas catering in George Green, cooked live
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. We cook patatas bravas, tortilla española and albóndigas, and typical bookings are for work receptions and receptions and drinks parties.
Near George Green, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Whether you need crockery
- Parking and unloading
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer drinks reception in George Green has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- We clear away at the end.

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
