How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Evening receptions in Angmering stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- We check your date.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day

How our tapas catering works in Angmering
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. We cook croquetas, gambas al ajillo and tortilla española, and we’re regularly asked to cater work receptions and engagement drinks.
For a party in a place like Angmering, a tapas spread is easy and sociable. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Questions from Angmering
How far is Angmering from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?

How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Of course. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
