Live tapas catering in Stunts Green
About our tapas catering in Stunts Green
Sangria and bar staff can be added, so drinks and nibbles come from one booking. Typical bookings include tapas starters and tapas and paella menus, with tortilla española, Serrano ham and Manchego with membrillo.
In a rural spot like Stunts Green, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Is live paella right for your event?
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Space for a serving table or station
- Permission from the venue
- Space to finish hot dishes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. A summer drinks reception in Stunts Green has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
How we price tapas catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- 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. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Stunts Green
We’re having a ceremony at Herstmonceux Free Church: can you cater afterwards?

Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stunts Green.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
