About our tapas catering in Farley Green
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they work on their own too. Popular choices include Serrano ham, albóndigas and patatas bravas, and typical bookings are for drinks parties and receptions and drinks reception canapés.
Near Farley Green, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Farley Green until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.

What tapas catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
