Wheeler End: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wheeler End?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How do you work out quantities?
That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.
What does tapas catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you serve drinks with tapas?
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Absolutely, for receptions, parties and evening food.
Is live paella right for your event?
Tapas can be a starter, a reception or the whole meal, which makes them easy to plan around. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Planning help

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
Canapés go round with the drinks as guests arrive.
Follow tapas with a live paella.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
