Why choose tapas catering in Swanbourne?
Tapas get people talking.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Launches and office parties
- Evening sharing boards
- Tapas and paella menus
- Birthday drinks
After a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Swithun, canapé tapas with the drinks keep guests happy during photos.
Questions to ask before booking
- How late numbers can change
- VAT, if it applies
- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
- Whether travel is included
Is live paella right for your event?
A sandwich buffet is easy but forgettable. Tapas feel special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Drinks service on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

What’s in the pans
Patatas bravas
A tapas classic.
Tortilla española
A thick potato and egg omelette cut into bites.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Evening receptions in Swanbourne stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- First, we check availability.
- You pick the style.
- We arrive and set up our station.
- We serve the spread.
- We clear away at the end.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
