Tapas catering for your event in Wembley

Wembley: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Wembley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Augustine?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes, tapas work on their own.
Paella compared with other options
Plated starters need a kitchen. Table tapas are relaxed and sociable. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- We cover Wembley and the whole of Greater London

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes

Follow tapas with a live paella.

For event organisers in Wembley
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Evening receptions in Wembley stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
