Tapas catering in Wick Hill, made fresh on the day
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. Typical bookings include office parties and launches and table tapas as a starter, with Manchego with membrillo, albóndigas and Serrano ham.
Around Wick Hill, tapas suit garden parties and village-hall celebrations. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Wick Hill
How far is Wick Hill from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Absolutely.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Venue approval for outside catering
