Where we can cook in Streatham Park
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Space for a serving table or station
As a London location, Streatham Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Tapas catering for your event in Streatham Park
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they work on their own too. Popular choices include tortilla española, Manchego with membrillo and albóndigas, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday drinks and receptions and drinks parties.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Streatham Park. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

How we price tapas catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
