Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. For table tapas as a starter and engagement drinks, we’ll put together a menu of gambas al ajillo, padrón peppers and tortilla española and more.
Near Beamond End, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
