About the dishes
Croquetas
Creamy croquettes with a crisp coat.
Patatas bravas
Crisp potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce, often with alioli.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space on each table
- Room for a tapas table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
