About our tapas catering in Tadmarton
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. Whether it’s tapas with a paella main course and evening sharing boards, we’ll put together a menu of gambas al ajillo, Serrano ham and croquetas.
In a rural spot like Tadmarton, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

FAQs for Tadmarton
Do you come out to small places like Tadmarton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Tadmarton?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Do you cater in Tadmarton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Tadmarton and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Are the tapas fresh?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served right away; cold ones go out as guests arrive.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Staff make canapés work, which we can supply.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue
- Space on each table
- Access to unload near the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
