How our tapas catering works in Eversley Centre
We’ll recommend a tapas selection for your event, starter or main event. Whether it’s tapas with a paella main course and table tapas as a starter, we will put together a menu of albóndigas, padrón peppers and Serrano ham for your guests.
In a rural spot like Eversley Centre, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Tell us what role tapas play
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. Evening receptions in Eversley Centre 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.

- We serve canapés or table tapas.
- We clear our equipment afterwards.
Before we arrive

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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
FAQs for Eversley Centre
Can you cook in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How far is Eversley Centre from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What does tapas catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
