The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Evening receptions in Touchen-end stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- We check your date.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price tapas catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- How long we’re needed on site
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Permission from the venue
- Parking near the venue
- Space on each table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
