Tapas catering in Mill End
About our tapas catering in Mill End
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. On the menu are patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo and albóndigas, and typical bookings are for sharing boards for evening guests and tapas with a paella main course.
In a rural spot like Mill End, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Common questions in Mill End
Is Mill End too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
