Live tapas catering in Horn Park
How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Horn Park is around 9:20pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

What’s the nearest station to Horn Park for guests?
The closest is Lee station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Saviour?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
