Tapas catering across West Berkshire

Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday drinks and receptions and drinks parties, serving albóndigas, tortilla española and gambas al ajillo.

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.

What’s near Newbury

In Newbury, that can mean a party near St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School. Other local landmarks include The Diamond Tap (less than half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (within half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). There is a railway station in Newbury itself: Newbury station. Other landmarks nearby include Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). For a walk before or after the party, there’s Audrey's Meadow.

Drinks receptions across West Berkshire

Whether it’s a drinks reception in Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common or a garden party in one of West Berkshire’s 139 villages and hamlets, tapas make it easy. Parts of West Berkshire are within a few miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.

Newbury: A picnic in Victoria Park? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is frequently easier for catering. Historic houses near Newbury include Shaw House (1 mile north) and Benham Park (2 miles west). Where a historic venue doesn’t allow live cooking, canapé tapas may still be possible; ask the venue. Sunset in Newbury is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

Match tapas with Spanish drinks
Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
Canapés need staff to serve
Check diets in advance

Hot dishes are finished on site.

Add a live paella main.

West Berkshire questions

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Do you serve drinks with tapas?

Sangria and bar staff can be added.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Is tapas catering available separately?

Absolutely.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

How much paella per person?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
