Your questions about tapas catering in Bure Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at Emmanuel Church Bicester?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Bure Park from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Staff make canapés work, which we can supply.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Absolutely.
How much tapas do we need?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest quantities.
Tapas catering in Bure Park, made fresh on the day
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. On the menu are gambas al ajillo, croquetas and patatas bravas, and typical bookings are for anniversary parties and office parties and launches.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
