Paella compared with other options
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Fast service from the pan

Your questions about tapas catering in Twickenham
Could we have live paella in Marble Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Twickenham for guests?
The closest is Twickenham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. Sunset in Twickenham is around 9:20pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Let us know the timings for the day

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
