About tapas catering in Medway

Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. Typical bookings include drinks parties and receptions and tapas with a paella main course, serving padrón peppers, Serrano ham and croquetas.

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Common questions in Medway

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Will there be enough food?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.

How many tapas per person?

Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details for a suggestion.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Are the tapas served hot?

Hot tapas are finished on site.
