Tapas catering in Egypt
How our tapas catering works in Egypt
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and some can be gluten-free. Whether it’s engagement drinks and work receptions, we’ll put together a menu of tortilla española, croquetas and patatas bravas.
For a country party near Egypt, tapas and sangria set the mood. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
What tapas catering costs
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Step by step
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening receptions in Egypt stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price

Common questions in Egypt
We are having a ceremony at St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Egypt for guests?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How many tapas per person?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest quantities.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Many tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
