How tapas catering works in Milton Keynes

Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. Typical bookings include drinks parties and receptions and work receptions, serving gambas al ajillo, patatas bravas and tortilla española.

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
