- Timings and hours

- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want to eat

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Evening receptions in Storrington stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and how you want the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés go round with the drinks, or table tapas go out to share.
- We pack down when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
