Tapas catering for your event in Horsemere Green
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. We cook gambas al ajillo, albóndigas and Serrano ham, and we’re frequently booked for office parties and launches and tapas starters.
Near Horsemere Green, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Horsemere Green: your questions answered
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can we add drinks?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening receptions in Horsemere Green stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
