Tapas catering for Langley events
How our tapas catering works in Langley
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; table tapas suit seated meals. Lots of events do both. Whether it’s tapas and paella menus and table tapas as a starter, we can cook gambas al ajillo, tortilla española and croquetas and more.
For a party in a place like Langley, a tapas spread is easy and sociable. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Langley questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Langley?
The closest is Langley station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you supply canapé staff?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to carry them round.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes, tapas work on their own, for receptions, parties and evening food.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
