How our tapas catering works in Remenham
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Many events have both. Popular choices include padrón peppers, albóndigas and Serrano ham, and typical bookings are for table tapas as a starter and evening sharing boards.
In a rural spot like Remenham, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening receptions in Remenham stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
