Tapas catering for your event in Nashes Green
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. We cook gambas al ajillo, Manchego with membrillo and albóndigas, and typical bookings are for tapas and paella menus and engagement celebrations.
For a country party near Nashes Green, tapas and sangria set the mood. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the space, if you can

Follow tapas with a live paella.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Nashes Green is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We pack down when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
