Tapas catering for your event in Clifton Reynes
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. For tapas with a paella main course and office parties and launches, we can cook Serrano ham, tortilla española and gambas al ajillo and more.
In a rural spot like Clifton Reynes, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. Evening receptions in Clifton Reynes stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel special. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why Clifton Reynes hosts choose us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

Common questions in Clifton Reynes
How far is Clifton Reynes from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Canapés work best with staff serving, which we can supply.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Unloading access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Menu ideas
- Olives & bread
- Chorizo in red wine
- Croquetas
- Manchego & membrillo
- Tortilla española
- Gambas al ajillo
- Padrón peppers
- Patatas bravas
- Serrano ham
- Albóndigas
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Parking and unloading
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
