Tapas catering in Brixton, made fresh on the day
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. Whether it is engagement celebrations and birthday drinks, we’ll put together a menu of albóndigas, gambas al ajillo and tortilla española and more.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Brixton. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

- Permission from the venue
Brixton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
