About our tapas catering in Walton Hall
A good spread mixes hot and cold: Manchego, Serrano ham and olives alongside patatas bravas, croquetas and gambas al ajillo. On the menu are tortilla española, albóndigas and padrón peppers, and we are regularly asked to cater evening grazing and engagement drinks.
Near Walton Hall, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat.
