Tapas catering in Furzedown
About our tapas catering in Furzedown
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. Popular choices include tortilla española, gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas, and typical bookings are for evening sharing boards and welcome-drink canapés.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Furzedown. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Label seafood clearly
- Tell us what role tapas play
- Plan more dishes if tapas are the meal
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.
Churros or crema catalana to finish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Unloading access
- Space for a serving table or station
- Space to finish hot dishes
As a London location, Furzedown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
