Tapas catering in Stuckton, cooked live
We will suggest a selection to suit your timings and guests, whether tapas are a starter or the whole meal. Whether it is tapas with a paella main course and sharing boards for evening guests, we will put together a menu of croquetas, albóndigas and Manchego with membrillo for your guests.
In a rural spot like Stuckton, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Stuckton questions
Is Stuckton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Are the tapas served hot?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served right away; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

At midsummer, it is light in Stuckton until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:05pm, are better indoors.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Why choose live paella in Stuckton?
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
