Tapas catering in Cubitt Town
Tapas catering in Cubitt Town, cooked live
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. Popular choices include patatas bravas, albóndigas and padrón peppers, and typical bookings are for canapés with welcome drinks and drinks parties and receptions.
For a London drinks party in Cubitt Town, canapé tapas are easy to serve in a small space. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
