Your questions about tapas catering in Tonge Corner
Is Tonge Corner too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Tonge Corner close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you cook tapas on site?
We finish hot dishes on site; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
How many tapas per person?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest quantities.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you serve drinks with tapas?
Sangria, yes, plus bar staff for your own drinks.
Why choose live paella in Tonge Corner?
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t 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 Tonge Corner has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm.
