Tapas catering for Gillette Corner events
How our tapas catering works in Gillette Corner
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. We are frequently asked to cater tapas with a paella main course and engagement drinks, serving padrón peppers, gambas al ajillo and Serrano ham.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Gillette Corner. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- Access to unload near the serving area
As a London location, Gillette Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
