Planners, venues and businesses

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

How we price tapas catering

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Parking and unloading
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Whether you need crockery

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • What the venue already provides
  • The date and time of the event
  • The courses you’d like

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Dishes our guests love

Croquetas

Creamy croquettes with a crisp coat.

Manchego & membrillo

Manchego with sweet quince.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer drinks reception in Wooburn Green has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We suggest a selection and a quote.
  3. We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
  4. We serve canapés or table tapas.
  5. We pack down when service ends.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Catering for every guest

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

  • Ask guests about diets and allergies
  • Include staff for canapés
  • Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
  • Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event

Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.

Churros or crema catalana to finish.

Planning the cooking area

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
  • Room for a tapas table
  • An area to prepare hot tapas

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Menu ideas

  • Manchego & membrillo
  • Tortilla española
  • Chorizo in red wine
  • Albóndigas
  • Olives & bread
  • Croquetas
  • Serrano ham
  • Patatas bravas
  • Padrón peppers
  • Gambas al ajillo

Live paella or other catering?

Generic canapés all look the same. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Why Wooburn Green hosts choose us

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Wooburn Green
  • No hidden extras in your quote
