Tapas catering for Wood Green events
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- Space for a serving table or station
Wood Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Serrano ham
- Gambas al ajillo
