Tapas catering in Peasemore

How we price tapas catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Parking and unloading
  • Waiting and bar staff

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

What we need to know

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The date and time of the event

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Peasemore questions

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Barnabas?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

How far is Peasemore from London?

Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Do you come to Peasemore?

We do. We cook at events in Peasemore and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.

Is tapas catering available separately?

Absolutely.

Tapas for events in Peasemore

Peasemore is about 7 miles north of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Wherever your event is in the RG20 area, we will come to your venue or garden. Peasemore is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Peasemore to Reading (about 16 miles away).

If you’re looking at a historic venue around Peasemore, check its catering rules early, as many limit cooking. Peasemore is within about 6 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, ideal for an outdoor reception.

We cater events across RG20 and the streets around it. Local streets include Field Road, The Pightle and Hillgreen Lane; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella. We also cook at events in Leckhampstead (1 mile south-west), Beedon (2 miles east), Downend (2 miles south-east), North Heath (2 miles south) and World's End (2 miles east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Newbury (7 miles south), Thatcham (7 miles south-east), Burghfield Common (14 miles south-east), Speenhamland (6 miles south), Hungerford (9 miles south-west) and Calcot (13 miles east).

Other landmarks nearby include Hampstead Norris Castle (4.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Snelsmore Common.

  • Local pubs include The Fox pub (under half a mile west)

Paella compared with other options

Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
