Tapas catering in New Yatt, cooked live
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. Popular choices include Manchego with membrillo, padrón peppers and tortilla española, and we’re frequently booked for launches and office parties and canapés with welcome drinks.
Near New Yatt, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
