About our tapas catering in Green Street
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. Whether it’s tapas starters and receptions and drinks parties, we’ll put together a menu of albóndigas, patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo.
Near Green Street, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

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

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.
