Why live cooking beats a buffet
Standard canapés can feel samey. Tapas bring something different. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Tapas catering in Millwall, cooked live
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. Popular choices include tortilla española, Serrano ham and padrón peppers, and we’re frequently booked for tapas starters and anniversary parties.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Millwall. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

- Venue approval for outside catering

- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
As a London location, Millwall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Millwall: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Millwall?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Lots. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.
Can we add drinks?
Yes. Sangria can be added, and bar staff if you’re providing the drinks.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Evening receptions in Millwall stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
