- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- Room for a tapas table
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
As a London location, West Twyford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

West Twyford: your questions answered
Can you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for West Twyford?
The closest is Stonebridge Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Hot tapas are finished on site so they’re served at their best.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Evening receptions in West Twyford stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

What tapas catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Gambas al ajillo
A favourite with seafood lovers.
Croquetas
Crisp outside, creamy inside, often with ham or mushroom.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Ask for labels on each dish
We clear our equipment when service ends.
