Your questions about tapas catering in Peters Village
How far is Peters Village from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can you cook in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you cook tapas on site?
We finish hot dishes on site; cold ones go out as guests arrive.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes, tapas work on their own.
Can we add drinks?
Sangria, yes, plus bar staff for your own drinks.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What tapas catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. A summer drinks reception in Peters Village has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
