Tapas catering for your event in Bossingham
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. We’re often asked to cater drinks reception canapés and tapas starters, with padrón peppers, Manchego with membrillo and Serrano ham.
In a rural spot like Bossingham, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
