About our tapas catering in Terrick
Canapé tapas suit standing receptions; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. Whether it’s canapés with welcome drinks and evening sharing boards, we will put together a menu of patatas bravas, Serrano ham and albóndigas for your guests.
In a rural spot like Terrick, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel special. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
