Your questions about tapas catering in Liverton Street
What’s the nearest station to Liverton Street for guests?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Liverton Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Lots. Tortilla, bravas and Manchego are popular vegetarian choices.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. Sunset in Liverton Street is around 9:15pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space for a serving table or station
- An area to prepare hot tapas
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
