How our tapas catering works in East Studdal

Near East Studdal, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Make sure dishes are labelled
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
We clear our equipment when service ends.
Follow tapas with a live paella.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the pan
