Tapas catering for your event in Northfleet Green
We can add sangria and bar staff, for a complete drinks and tapas package. We cook albóndigas, Serrano ham and patatas bravas, and we’re regularly asked to cater tapas before paella and engagement drinks.
Near Northfleet Green, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Northfleet Green: your questions answered
Can you cook in Castle Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes, plus bar staff for your own drinks.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Absolutely.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want food that encourages guests to mingle, tapas work brilliantly. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
