Tapas catering near Rosehill
Tapas catering for your event in Rosehill
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. We’re often asked to cater launches and office parties and birthday drinks, serving patatas bravas, croquetas and gambas al ajillo.
In Rosehill, tapas suit drinks receptions, evening parties and work events, indoors or out. Tell us about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

FAQs for Rosehill
Is parking a problem for events in Rosehill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
We are having a ceremony at St Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you serve drinks with tapas?
Yes. Sangria can be added, and bar staff if you’re providing the drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you supply canapé staff?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to serve.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening receptions in Rosehill stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.

Rosehill: venues and local tips
Rosehill is about 3 miles south-east of Wimbledon, in Greater London. From the centre of Rosehill to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 764 places across Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
Canapé tapas suit the drinks after a ceremony at a church like St Peter's Church. A picnic in Morden Hall Park? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is frequently easier for catering.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How we price tapas catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
