How we price tapas catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Tapas catering in Slough, cooked live
We can add sangria and bar staff, for a complete drinks and tapas package. Typical bookings include engagement celebrations and tapas starters, with gambas al ajillo, croquetas and padrón peppers.
Canapés keep a reception in Slough moving. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Slough is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Check the venue allows live cooking
