FAQs for Mytchett
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Mytchett close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much does tapas catering cost in Mytchett?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
How we price tapas catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
