At midsummer, it’s light in Worcester Park until about 9:20pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue
- Room for a tapas table
- Parking near the venue
Worcester Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want food that encourages guests to mingle, tapas work brilliantly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Working with your venue
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.
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.
Worcester Park questions
Which station should guests use for Worcester Park?
The closest is Worcester Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Plenty are vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Are the tapas fresh?
Hot tapas are finished on site.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How we price tapas catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
