Tapas catering in Stonestreet Green, cooked live
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. We are often asked to cater canapés with welcome drinks and table tapas as a starter, with patatas bravas, tortilla española and Serrano ham.
For a country party near Stonestreet Green, tapas and sangria set the mood. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Stonestreet Green questions
Could we have live paella in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Stonestreet Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Are the tapas fresh?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served straight away; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stonestreet Green.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.

What tapas catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Where we can cook in Stonestreet Green
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Access to unload near the serving area
