How our tapas catering works in Little Chalfont
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. Whether it is table tapas as a starter and drinks parties and receptions, we can cook Manchego with membrillo, patatas bravas and albóndigas for your guests.
For a party in a place like Little Chalfont, a tapas spread is easy and sociable. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

The menu, dish by dish
Gambas al ajillo
A favourite with seafood lovers.
Tortilla española
Tortilla is vegetarian and naturally gluten-free when made carefully.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Parking near the venue
- A spot for our serving station

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Little Chalfont is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know the timings for the day
