Your questions about tapas catering in Church Enstone
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Kenelm: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Church Enstone too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Do you cover Church Enstone?

What does tapas catering cost?
