Tapas catering in Nyton, made fresh on the day
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they work on their own too. On the menu are Manchego with membrillo, albóndigas and padrón peppers, and we’re often booked for table tapas as a starter and receptions and drinks parties.
For a country party near Nyton, tapas and sangria set the mood. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
