Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Paddington Green? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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’ll do the cooking.

How we price tapas catering

- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening receptions in Paddington Green stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
