Tapas catering in Sheet Hill, cooked live
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they’re great on their own. We’re frequently asked to cater tapas starters and drinks parties and receptions, serving gambas al ajillo, albóndigas and Serrano ham.
In a rural spot like Sheet Hill, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
