Tapas catering in Titchfield Park, made fresh on the day
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. We cook croquetas, Serrano ham and padrón peppers, and we’re regularly asked to cater office parties and launches and cocktail parties.
In a rural spot like Titchfield Park, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose live paella in Titchfield Park?
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Evening receptions in Titchfield Park stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us a contact for the day

Questions from Titchfield Park
Is Titchfield Park close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Titchfield Park?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
