Tapas catering in Holloway
About our tapas catering in Holloway
We finish hot tapas on site, so they’re served at their best. We’re frequently asked to cater tapas before paella and sharing tapas starters, serving tortilla española, padrón peppers and croquetas.
Near Holloway, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, it’s light in Holloway until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.
