Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mildred?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much tapas do we need?
Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details and we’ll advise.

We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Do you provide serving staff?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to carry them round.
Can we have tapas without paella?

For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What tapas catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
