About our tapas catering in Kings Worthy
Plenty of tapas are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. Whether it is table tapas as a starter and office parties and launches, we can cook Manchego with membrillo, padrón peppers and tortilla española.
In a rural spot like Kings Worthy, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer drinks reception in Kings Worthy has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.

Common questions in Kings Worthy
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Kings Worthy close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Label seafood clearly
- Add sangria or cava
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Check diets in advance
Canapés go round with the drinks as guests arrive.

How we price tapas catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
What’s in the pans
Tortilla española
A thick potato and egg omelette served in wedges or squares.
Croquetas
Crisp outside, creamy inside, frequently with ham or mushroom.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
