How our tapas catering works in Oakley Green
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. We cook gambas al ajillo, padrón peppers and patatas bravas, and typical bookings are for welcome-drink canapés and engagement celebrations.
Near Oakley Green, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Oakley Green until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What tapas catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- Your choice of paellas
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
