About our tapas catering in Walton
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. On the menu are padrón peppers, Serrano ham and patatas bravas, and we’re often booked for birthday and anniversary parties and tapas starters.
In a rural spot like Walton, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. Evening receptions in Walton 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.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about tapas catering in Walton
Is Walton close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

What tapas catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
