How it works

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Evening receptions in Bredgar stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  1. Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We suggest a selection and a quote.
  3. We set up and finish hot tapas on site.
  4. Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
  5. We clear our equipment afterwards.
