How our tapas catering works in Nackington
We can add sangria and bar staff, for a complete drinks and tapas package. We’re often asked to cater evening sharing boards and canapés with welcome drinks, serving padrón peppers, patatas bravas and albóndigas.
For a country party near Nackington, tapas and sangria set the mood. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
Why choose live paella in Nackington?
A plated starter needs a kitchen and staff. Table tapas are shared and relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

How we price tapas catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
