About our tapas catering in Bulverhythe
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. Whether it’s launches and office parties and engagement drinks, we can cook croquetas, albóndigas and padrón peppers for your guests.
In a rural spot like Bulverhythe, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Is live paella right for your event?
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at How we price And What paella catering costs.
What tapas catering costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Bulverhythe until about 9:15pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
