Tapas catering in Binfield
How our tapas catering works in Binfield
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. Popular choices include gambas al ajillo, Manchego with membrillo and croquetas, and typical bookings are for canapés with welcome drinks and table tapas as a starter.
Around Binfield, tapas suit garden parties and village-hall celebrations. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Live paella or other catering?
Tapas can be a starter, a reception or the whole meal, so they fit most plans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- A clear, itemised quote

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. Evening receptions in Binfield stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Binfield questions
What’s the nearest station to Binfield for guests?
Bracknell station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mark: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Yes, tapas work on their own.
What areas do you cover?
