About the dishes
Tortilla española
Tortilla is vegetarian and naturally gluten-free.
Croquetas
Creamy croquettes with a crisp coat.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Your questions about tapas catering in Terriers
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Which station should guests use for Terriers?

Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- We pack down when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain

Planning help
What tapas catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us what role tapas play
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Label seafood clearly
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.
