How our tapas catering works in Warner Estate
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. On the menu are tortilla española, padrón peppers and Serrano ham, and we are regularly asked to cater birthday and anniversary parties and drinks parties and receptions.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Warner Estate. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
- Collect dietary needs
- Make sure dishes are labelled
- Add sangria or cava
Dishes are labelled for diets and allergens.

Paella compared with other options
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel special. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
