FAQs for Tottenham
What’s the nearest station to Tottenham for guests?
Bruce Grove station, in Tottenham itself.
What about parking in Tottenham?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How our tapas catering works in Tottenham
We can add sangria and bar staff, so drinks and nibbles come from one booking. Whether it’s canapés with welcome drinks and cocktail parties, we’ll put together a menu of patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego with membrillo for your guests.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Tottenham. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in Tottenham until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a selection and a quote.
- We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We pack down when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Venue approval for outside catering
Tottenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
