Tapas catering in Pitch Place, cooked live
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they work on their own too. Whether it is tapas and paella menus and sharing tapas starters, we’ll put together a menu of Manchego with membrillo, Serrano ham and patatas bravas.
In a rural spot like Pitch Place, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Pitch Place: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Pitch Place for guests?
Witley station, about 3.6 miles east of the centre.
How far is Pitch Place from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
What does tapas catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Sunset in Pitch Place is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.

- Afterwards, we clear up.
How to prepare
