What tapas catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
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.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
For event organisers in Iver Heath
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Check diets in advance
- Add sangria or cava
- Tell us what role tapas play
We clear our equipment when service ends.
Churros or crema catalana to finish.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Questions from Iver Heath
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Iver Heath close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Are the tapas fresh?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served right away; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How do you work out quantities?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.
Do you come to Iver Heath?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Iver Heath and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
