Tapas catering in Bramley Green, cooked live
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, served while the paella cooks, but they’re great on their own. Whether it’s birthday drinks and evening sharing boards, we will put together a menu of Serrano ham, Manchego with membrillo and padrón peppers for your guests.
In a rural spot like Bramley Green, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Check diets in advance
Table tapas are set down to share at the start of the meal.
Churros or crema catalana to finish.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Evening receptions in Bramley Green stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
