Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include staff for canapés
- Collect dietary needs
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
Table tapas are set down to share.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Common questions in Tottenham Green
What’s the nearest station to Tottenham Green for guests?
Tottenham Green has its own station: Seven Sisters station.
We are having a ceremony at Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you do sangria?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
How many tapas per person?
That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do we need staff for canapés?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to serve.
