About our tapas catering in Brenzett
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. Whether it is sharing tapas starters and cocktail parties, we can cook Serrano ham, croquetas and patatas bravas.
In a rural spot like Brenzett, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Brenzett
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
