- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

What tapas catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
