Dishes our guests love

Patatas bravas

A tapas classic.

Manchego & membrillo

A simple, classic pairing.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Live paella or other catering?

Tapas are flexible, so they fit most plans. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why us?

  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

Do you come to Braywoodside?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in Braywoodside and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

How much tapas do we need?

Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details and we’ll advise.

Can you do sangria?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Can you serve tapas as well?

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Braywoodside until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
  2. We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
  4. Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
  5. Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.

Before we arrive

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload

How to get a price

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
