Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal

FAQs for Town Row
Is Town Row close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Denys: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Are the tapas served hot?
Hot tapas are finished on site.
