About our tapas catering in Silvertown
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. For office parties and launches and welcome-drink canapés, we can cook patatas bravas, Serrano ham and padrón peppers and more.
Tapas work well for receptions and parties in Silvertown, indoors or out. Let us know about parking and loading. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Silvertown is around 9:20pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

- Ensure dishes are labelled
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
Hot dishes are finished on site.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Do you cater for young children?
