Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about tapas catering in Hanworth
How far is Hanworth from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can we add drinks?
Yes. Sangria can be added, and bar staff if you are providing the drinks.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Venue approval for outside catering
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space to finish hot dishes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Is live paella right for your event?
For food that gets people mingling, tapas work brilliantly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
