The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, it’s light in Green Street until about 9:15pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

  1. First, we check availability.
  2. You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
  3. We set up on arrival.
  4. We serve the spread.
  5. We clear away at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What’s the nearest station to Green Street for guests?

Crowhurst station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Are the tapas fresh?

Hot tapas are finished on site.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Green Street.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

About the dishes

Gambas al ajillo

Garlic prawns with a little chilli.

Patatas bravas

Crisp potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce, frequently with alioli.

Planners, venues and businesses

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Green Street? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Add sangria or cava
  • Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
  • Book staff to carry canapés round
  • Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal

Dishes are labelled for diets and allergens.

Staff to serve canapés.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
