Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Tapas catering in Tyringham, made fresh on the day
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. Whether it’s welcome-drink canapés and drinks parties and receptions, we can cook albóndigas, Manchego with membrillo and patatas bravas and more.
Near Tyringham, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Is Tyringham too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Many tapas are naturally vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers. We label each dish.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do we need staff for canapés?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to serve.

Standard canapés can feel samey. Tapas bring something different. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
