About our tapas catering in Printstile
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. Popular choices include croquetas, tortilla española and Manchego with membrillo, and typical bookings are for table tapas as a starter and work receptions.
Near Printstile, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Tell us what role tapas play
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
Tapas go out to the tables at the start of the meal.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer drinks reception in Printstile has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.

How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
How do you work out quantities?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. We’ll suggest quantities for your event.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Yes, tapas work on their own.
Is live paella right for your event?
