Your questions about tapas catering in East Burnham
Is East Burnham close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How much does tapas catering cost in East Burnham?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in East Burnham until about 9:25pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
