Tapas catering in Nuptown, cooked live
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. For welcome-drink canapés and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of croquetas, tortilla española and Serrano ham.
For a country party near Nuptown, tapas and sangria set the mood. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Nuptown questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Nuptown close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you provide serving staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
Afterwards, we clear away.

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer drinks reception in Nuptown has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
