Why live cooking beats a buffet

Generic canapés all look the same. Tapas bring something different. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

  • Events in Eversholt and across Milton Keynes

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Your questions about tapas catering in Eversholt

Which station should guests use for Eversholt?

The closest is Flitwick station, roughly 2.3 miles away.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you provide serving staff?

Yes, if you want them. Canapés need staff to serve.

Can we have tapas without paella?

Of course. Tapas can be booked without paella.

How do you work out quantities?

That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Are the tapas served hot?

Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Eversholt is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  1. We check your date.
  2. You pick the style.
  3. We arrive and set up our station.
  4. We serve the spread.
  5. We clear away at the end.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
