How we price tapas catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of paellas
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. A summer drinks reception in Curbridge has daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
- We check your date.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- We serve the spread.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How do you work out quantities?

Can we have tapas without paella?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you provide serving staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
