About our tapas catering in Wyke
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. Popular choices include patatas bravas, Manchego with membrillo and padrón peppers, and we’re frequently booked for work receptions and drinks parties and receptions.
Near Wyke, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
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:
- Space on each table
- Unloading access
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers

Wyke questions
Is Wyke close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Wyke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Of course. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
What affects the price in Wyke
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we are needed on site
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of the space, if you can
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Ask for labels on each dish

Staff to serve canapés.
Is live paella right for your event?
Generic canapés all look the same. Tapas bring something different. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
