Tapas catering in Bray Wick

How our tapas catering works in Bray Wick

A good spread mixes hot and cold: cold cheese and ham with hot bravas, croquetas and garlic prawns. Typical bookings include tapas and paella menus and drinks parties and receptions, serving padrón peppers, croquetas and Manchego with membrillo.

In a rural spot like Bray Wick, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

What happens on the day

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening receptions in Bray Wick 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.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
  2. We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
  3. We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
  4. Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
  5. We clear away our equipment when service is finished.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Plan cover in case of rain
