Tapas catering in Springvale, made fresh on the day
We’ll recommend a tapas selection for your event, starter or main event. Whether it is tapas before paella and evening grazing, we will put together a menu of gambas al ajillo, Manchego with membrillo and Serrano ham for your guests.
In Springvale, tapas work at home or in a local hall. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer drinks reception in Springvale has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- You get a suggested selection and a price.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
- We clear away our equipment when service is finished.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
