Horton: your questions answered
How far is Horton from London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Absolutely.
How much does tapas catering cost in Horton?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Horton is around 9:25pm 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.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- We pack down when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans

What else we do in Horton
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Unloading access
- Room for a tapas table
- Space to finish hot dishes
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.

How we price tapas catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
