About our tapas catering in Goldsworth Park
Receptions, parties, office events and weddings all suit tapas. We’re often asked to cater office parties and launches and sharing boards for evening guests, with croquetas, albóndigas and Manchego with membrillo.
In Goldsworth Park, tapas work at home or in a local hall. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
Each dish is labelled.
Sangria and bar staff.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Andrew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Yes. Tortilla, bravas and Manchego are popular vegetarian choices.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. A summer drinks reception in Goldsworth Park has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
