About our tapas catering in Morton
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they work on their own too. We cook Serrano ham, croquetas and tortilla española, and typical bookings are for evening sharing boards and engagement parties.
Near Morton, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What affects the price in Morton
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want to eat
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
