Why choose tapas catering in Sewardstonebury?
Easy to eat with a glass in hand.
These are some of the occasions we cater around Sewardstonebury:
- Table tapas as a starter
- Birthday drinks
- Work receptions
- Evening grazing
A picnic in Lee Valley Park? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is often easier for catering.

How we price tapas catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests are eating
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Questions from Sewardstonebury
Can you cook in Lee Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Sewardstonebury?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Include staff for canapés
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
Table tapas are set down to share at the start of the meal.
