Tapas catering near Bexon
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Tapas catering in Bexon, cooked live
Plenty of tapas are vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. For birthday and anniversary parties and launches and office parties, we can cook albóndigas, gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas and more.
For a country party near Bexon, tapas and sangria set the mood. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
- Ensure dishes are labelled
- Collect dietary needs
Canapés go round with the drinks.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
