Tapas catering for Hedgerley events
What we need at the venue

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

About our tapas catering in Hedgerley
Tapas suit drinks receptions, evening parties, office events and weddings. Popular choices include albóndigas, Serrano ham and Manchego with membrillo, and we are regularly asked to cater tapas before paella and canapés with welcome drinks.
In a rural spot like Hedgerley, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
About the dishes

A simple, classic pairing.
Tortilla española
A vegetarian favourite when made carefully.
How we price tapas catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose live paella in Hedgerley?
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel special. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Hedgerley hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

- A quote that spells everything out

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add sangria or cava
- Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event
- Ask for labels on each dish
- Check diets in advance
Staff keep the canapés coming.
Churros or crema catalana to finish.
Questions from Hedgerley
Can you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Hedgerley?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What does tapas catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have vegetarian tapas?
Lots. Tortilla, bravas and Manchego are popular vegetarian choices.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How much tapas do we need?
That depends on their role in the meal. We’ll suggest quantities for your event.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For event organisers in Hedgerley
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
