Tapas catering in Weston Turville, cooked live
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. We cook gambas al ajillo, croquetas and Manchego with membrillo, and typical bookings are for welcome-drink canapés and table tapas as a starter.
For a party in a place like Weston Turville, a tapas spread is easy and sociable. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

FAQs for Weston Turville
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Why choose live paella in Weston Turville?
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Weston Turville until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
