Tapas catering for your event in Stonebridge Green
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. Whether it’s evening grazing and launches and office parties, we can cook croquetas, patatas bravas and tortilla española for your guests.
Near Stonebridge Green, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
How we price tapas catering
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
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.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening receptions in Stonebridge Green stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
