About our tapas catering in Spring Grove
A good spread mixes hot and cold: cold cheese and ham with hot bravas, croquetas and garlic prawns. We cook albóndigas, gambas al ajillo and Manchego with membrillo, and typical bookings are for evening sharing boards and drinks parties and receptions.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Spring Grove. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What affects the price in Spring Grove
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Unloading access
- Venue approval for outside catering
As a London location, Spring Grove is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about tapas catering in Spring Grove
Is parking a problem for events in Spring Grove?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What’s in the pans
Croquetas
Always among the first to go.
Tortilla española
Tortilla is vegetarian and naturally gluten-free.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why choose Love Paella in Spring Grove
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
See Our pricing Or The cost guide.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Spring Grove until about 9:20pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a selection and a quote.
- We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear our equipment afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan more dishes if tapas are the meal
- Ask for labels on each dish
- Include staff for canapés
- Check diets in advance
Table tapas are set down to share.
