Tapas catering in Sole Street, made fresh on the day
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. For tapas starters and evening grazing, we can cook albóndigas, Serrano ham and tortilla española for your guests.
For a country party near Sole Street, tapas and sangria set the mood. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
For event organisers in Sole Street
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it is light in Sole Street until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:00pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:50pm, are better indoors.
