Tapas catering for your event in West Green
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. Typical bookings include tapas starters and tapas with a paella main course, serving padrón peppers, patatas bravas and Serrano ham.
Tapas work well for receptions and parties in West Green, in a home, a venue or an office. Tell us about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How we price tapas catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Travel, parking and access
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Your questions about tapas catering in West Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip the Apostle?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in West Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Are the tapas fresh?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue so they’re served at their best.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including West Green.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Canapés work best with staff serving, and we can provide them.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in West Green is around 9:20pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
