How we price tapas catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, it’s light in Maze Hill until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

What we need at the venue

- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- Unloading access
As a London location, Maze Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
