Stonebridge Park questions
Is parking a problem for events in Stonebridge Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael the Archangel?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Are the tapas served hot?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Lots. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Parking near the venue
- Permission from the venue
- An area to prepare hot tapas
As a London location, Stonebridge Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Fast service from the pan

A picnic in St. Raphael's Edible Garden? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is often easier for catering.
