Tapas catering in Rose Hill, cooked live
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. For tapas with a paella main course and birthday and anniversary parties, we can cook albóndigas, croquetas and padrón peppers.
In a rural spot like Rose Hill, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

FAQs for Rose Hill
Do you come out to small places like Rose Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space on each table
- Permission from the venue
- An area to prepare hot tapas
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

- Olives & bread
- Gambas al ajillo
- Tortilla española
- Manchego & membrillo
- Padrón peppers

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer drinks reception in Rose Hill has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.
