How our tapas catering works in Nutbourne
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they work on their own too. On the menu are Serrano ham, gambas al ajillo and Manchego with membrillo, and we’re often booked for office parties and launches and canapés with welcome drinks.
Near Nutbourne, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
