About our tapas catering in Breamore
Sangria and bar staff can be added, for a complete drinks and tapas package. Whether it’s drinks reception canapés and table tapas as a starter, we will put together a menu of Serrano ham, patatas bravas and padrón peppers.
Near Breamore, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Paella compared with other options
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria and bar staff available

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Your questions about tapas catering in Breamore
Do you come out to small places like Breamore?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at St Boniface: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Lots. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you come to Breamore?
We do. Breamore is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
