Tapas catering for The Warren events
Tapas catering in The Warren, cooked live
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. For launches and office parties and engagement celebrations, we can cook albóndigas, Manchego with membrillo and croquetas for your guests.
Tapas make a party in The Warren easy and sociable. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer drinks reception in The Warren has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
