Tapas catering in Hurley, made fresh on the day
Tapas suit drinks receptions, evening parties, office events and weddings. We’re frequently asked to cater sharing tapas starters and work receptions, serving padrón peppers, tortilla española and albóndigas.
In a rural spot like Hurley, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Sunset in Hurley is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know the timings for the day
