Tapas catering for your event in Tingewick
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. We cook croquetas, tortilla española and albóndigas, and we’re frequently booked for launches and office parties and drinks reception canapés.
Near Tingewick, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Live paella or other catering?
Tapas can be a starter, a reception or the whole meal, which makes them easy to plan around. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Questions from Tingewick
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalen: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Tingewick close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide serving staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Tingewick? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
