Tapas catering in Phoenix Green, cooked live
We finish hot tapas on site, so they’re served at their best. Popular choices include patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo and Serrano ham, and typical bookings are for sharing tapas starters and tapas before paella.
In a rural spot like Phoenix Green, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Space on each table
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- An area to prepare hot tapas
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
