How our tapas catering works in Little Sandhurst
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. On the menu are albóndigas, padrón peppers and tortilla española, and typical bookings are for work receptions and canapés with welcome drinks.
For a party in a place like Little Sandhurst, a tapas spread is easy and sociable. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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.
Your questions about tapas catering in Little Sandhurst
Could we have live paella in Ambarrow Court?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you cater in Little Sandhurst?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Little Sandhurst is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities around your timings and courses. Tell us more for a suggestion.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Parking near the venue
- Room for a tapas table
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
